Defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence (hamstring) is active for the Giants’ Monday night football game against the Green Bay Packers. Lawrence last played Nov. 19, a 31-19 win at the Washington Commanders.
Wide receiver Parris Campbell (knee), who played in the Giants’ last game, a 10-7 win over the New England Patriots on Nov. 26, is among five inactive players for New York. The others are running back Jashaun Corbin, right tackle Evan Neal (ankle), outside linebacker Boogie Basham and safety Gervarrius Owens.

There are positive indications that defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence will play Monday night against the Green Bay Packers after he missed Big Blue’s win over New England before the bye a fortnight ago.
Lawrence (hamstring) again practiced for the third straight day on Saturday and head coach Brian Daboll is “hopeful” about him playing, adding that the standout DT snuck in some team reps at Friday’s session.
“He did some individual stuff yesterday and then he did team periods, which was a good thing to see,” Daboll said. “He’ll do the same thing [Saturday] and hopefully he’ll be ready to go in a couple days here. That would be the plan.”
New York will list Lawrence as questionable, as they will with fellow defensive lineman A’Shawn Robinson (hamstring), who practiced again Saturday, and inside linebacker Isaiah Simmons.
Tight end Daniel Bellinger (illness) missed his second straight practice on Saturday and will be questionable for Monday.
Right tackle Evan Neal (ankle) will miss his fourth straight game as he has been ruled out by Daboll.

Darren Waller will not come off injured reserve ahead of Monday night’s game against Green Bay, but the tight end is optimistic that he will be able to return for the Giants’ Week 15 game in New Orleans.
Waller is eligible to come off the IR now after missing five straight games with a hamstring injury. In eight games this season, his first in New York, the tight end has 36 catches for 384 yards and one touchdown.
There was a less optimistic tone around right tackle Evan Neal (ankle) returning to practice this week and it appears he will miss his fourth straight game, as he told reporters that he isn’t sure how close he is to getting back.
“Whenever that day gets here, that’s when it gets here,” Neal told reporters. “Hell yeah, I’m going to go back out there this season, but I’m just going to see where I’m at, see how I progress and move forward from there.”
Neal added that while he still has pain in his ankle, “it’s football.”
“I mean, sometimes you’ve got to play through pain,” the second-year tackle said. “But I do want to make sure whenever I do go back out on the field, I’ll be ready. I’ll definitely have bullets in my gun to shoot with because anybody would never want to go into a war without any bullets in their gun, and that’s where I’m at.”
Head coach Brian Daboll did say he was “hopeful” that defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence (hamstring) would be on the practice field Friday. Lawrence was held out for the second straight day on Wednesday but there was some optimism on that front.

Coming out of the bye, the Giants will get quarterback Tyrod Taylor back from injured reserve but are still waiting on three other players.
Head coach Brian Daboll said defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence (hamstring) and right tackle Evan Neal (ankle) will not practice on Tuesday.
Daboll was optimistic that Lawrence could return to practice later this week ahead of Monday night’s game against the Green Bay Packers.
Darren Waller (hamstring) is eligible to return from IR this week and is “making progress,” Daboll said, but it is more likely than not that the tight end will not return to practice this week but he did not want to rule it out.
Dec. 4, 9:54 a.m.
Tyrod Taylor’s practice window will be opened this week, reports Ian Rapaport of NFL.com.
Taylor, who has been out since injuring his ribs against the Jets in Week 8, could be an option to replace Tommy DeVito as the starting quarterback.
The Giants, 4-8, are coming off their bye. They face the Packers in Week 14.

The Giants will be without a big piece in the middle of their defense Sunday afternoon against the Patriots.
After missing practice all week due to a lingering hamstring issue, star defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence has been listed among those inactive for this afternoon’s contest.
Seventh-round pick Jordan Riley is active this week and expected to take on more of a role in the All-Pro DT’s absence.
Wide receiver Darius Slayton will surprisingly also be active, despite being listed as doubtful entering the matchup due to a neck injury.
The rest of Big Blue’s inactives for this week include running back Jashaun Corbin, safety Gervarrius Owens, linebacker Boogie Basham, and offensive lineman Evan Neal.
Nov. 24, 12:45 p.m.
Initially considered unable to practice on Friday, according to head coach Brian Daboll, wide receiver Darius Slayton (neck) felt better and was on the field practicing after being a limited participant on Thursday.
However, defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence (hamstring) did not practice as he continues to be sidelined. The 26-year-old did not practice at all this week.
Daboll said both players will make game-time decisions on Sunday.
