00:00 The New York Giants have elevated running back Tyrone Jones from their practice squad for Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys.
00:08 Now, that's a piece of good news for New York because it means the Giants did not elevate any of the tight ends that they had on their practice squad,
00:17 which means that Darren Waller, who landed on the injury report on Friday with a hamstring issue, is trending in the right direction.
00:26 Now, we'll find out for sure on Sunday if Darren Waller is going to play, but all along it was believed that the move to put him out of practice after starting practice on Friday was more of a precautionary move.
00:39 Waller on track to play, but a final decision will be made 90 minutes prior to kickoff.
00:45 Now, as for Tyrone Jones, he is a running back, but he's also a career long special teams player and his elevation is no surprise.
00:55 The Giants could potentially be a little limited as far as personnel on special teams.
01:00 They're going to be likely missing guys like Cordell Flaude, Javarius Owens.
01:05 It's unknown if Cam Brown, who's listed as questionable, is going to play.
01:09 These are three guys that were on the injury report.
