**Giants Struggle with Player Injuries Ahead of Munich Matchup**

The New York Giants are facing multiple injury concerns as they prepare for their Sunday game in Munich against the Carolina Panthers. Safety Jason Pinnock’s participation remains in question due to an abdominal issue that kept him out of Thursday's practice. Head coach Brian Daboll mentioned that Pinnock’s availability will be reassessed after Friday's practice session. If Pinnock is unable to take the field, Dane Belton is expected to fill in, with Anthony Johnson also a potential option for playing time.

In more positive news, left tackle Chris Hubbard, who missed practice on Thursday due to illness, has traveled with the team to Munich. Daboll is hopeful that Hubbard will be ready to play on Sunday. Additionally, special teams may see a boost as there is optimism surrounding the return of both kicker Graham Gano and punter Jamie Gillan. Gano, who has been sidelined since Week 2 with a hamstring injury, would require a roster move for activation. Gillan, recovering from a similar injury, has participated fully in practice and is likely to play.

The Giants will be missing wide receiver Darius Slayton, who has been ruled out because of a concussion. Meanwhile, other players such as linebacker Matthew Adams and Darius Muasau, both nursing hamstring complaints, were limited in practice and are considered questionable.

For the Panthers, left tackle Ikem Ekwonu and wide receiver Adam Thielen are already ruled out due to ankle and hamstring injuries, respectively. The team also has several players listed as questionable, including tight end Tommie Tremble and edge rusher Jadeveon Clowney, who both managed to practice fully despite their ailments.

As the Giants look ahead to the crucial matchup in Munich, the team's injury list will play a critical role in their game-day strategy and overall performance.
