The New York Giants are opening the 21-day practice window for running back Gary Brightwell (hamstring) and offensive lineman Matt Peart (shoulder) on Wednesday, according to head coach Brian Daboll. Both players remain on Injured Reserve, but the team will now have 21 days to officially activate them. Brightwell has been on IR since Week 7 but will now return to practice this week with the hope of being active on Monday night against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 16. The 24-year-old former sixth-round selection in 2021 has just nine rushing attempts for 19 yards and has caught five of seven targets for 47 yards in his seven games in 2023. When healthy, he'll return to being RB depth behind Saquon Barkley and Matt Breida.

New York Giants running back Gary Brightwell (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Washington Commanders. He initially departed in the first half without registering a single offensive touch. New York will continue to use Saquon Barkley as its top running back while Matt Breida occupies a depth role.

New York Giants running back Gary Brightwell (ankle) is active for Sunday night's meeting with Buffalo. He carried a questionable tag heading into this one. However, with Saquon Barkley (ankle) set to return and Matt Breida available, Brightwell won't offer much, if anything, to fantasy managers.

New York Giants running back Gary Brightwell (ankle) is questionable for the team's Sunday night game against the Buffalo Bills. The 24-year-old logged limited practices on Wednesday and Friday and missed practice altogether on Thursday. Brightwell moved up on the depth chart with Saquon Barkley (ankle) missing the last three weeks, though Matt Breida has been the primary benefactor in Barkley's absence. Brightwell did not play in Week 5, which opened the door for rookie Eric Gray to see his first NFL action. Even if Brightwell is cleared to play in Week 6 he will not be in a position to contribute to fantasy teams.

New York Giants running back Gary Brightwell (ankle) was limited in practice on Friday. However, he no longer carries an injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against Miami. With Saquon Barkley (ankle) out of the lineup the last few weeks, Brightwell has gotten some work behind Matt Breida. Yet, the 25-year-old hasn't had more than four carries or two catches in a game this season. With this in mind, even if Barkley doesn't return in Week 5, Brightwell shouldn't have a spot in any fantasy lineup.
