NEW YORK GIANTS RE-SIGN ISAIAH HODGINS…
The Giants have re-signed wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins, who was set to become exclusive rights free agent on March 15.

The Giants claimed Hodgins off of waivers from the Buffalo Bills in early November 2022. Hodgins quickly received playing time, playing in eight regular-season games with five starts. He finished with 33 catches for 351 yards (10.6 yards per catch) and four touchdowns. In the playoff game against the Vikings, Hodgins caught eight passes for 105 yards and a touchdown. However, he was limited to one catch against the playoff loss to the Eagles.

Hodgins was originally drafted in the 6th round of the 2020 NFL Draft by the Bills. He spent most of his rookie season on Injured Reserve and most of 2021 on the Practice Squad. Before coming to the Giants, Hodgins only played in two regular-season games, catching four passes for 41 yards.

MIKE KAFKA CONTINUES TO DRAW INTEREST…
The Arizona Cardinals are the fourth NFL team to interview New York Giants Offensive Coordinator Mike Kafka for their head-coaching vacancy, joining the Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, and Carolina Panthers. The interview will reportedly take place on Tuesday. The Texans have interviewed Kafka twice, once virtually and the second time in person. The Denver Broncos reportedly may also be interested in Kafka.

The 35-year old Kafka first became a coach with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2017, when he served an offensive quality control coach. He was then promoted by the Chiefs to quarterbacks coach (2018-2019) and then quarterbacks coach/passing game coordinator (2020-2021).

COLTS INTERVIEW DON MARTINDALE AGAIN…
The Indianapolis Colts have held a second interview with New York Giants Defensive Coordinator Don “Wink” Martindale for their head-coaching vacancy. The 59-year old Martindale served as the defensive coordinator of the Baltimore Ravens for four years before joining the Giants last offseason. From 2012-2017, he was the linebackers coach of the Ravens.

BUCCANEERS INTERESTED IN SHEA TIERNEY…

DECEMBER 30, 2022 NEW YORK GIANTS INJURY REPORT…
DL Leonard Williams (neck), OLB Azeez Ojulari (ankle), and CB Adoree’ Jackson (knee) were limited in practice on Friday. Jackson is officially “doubtful” for Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts; Ojulari is “questionable”; and Williams is likely to play.

“(Jackson will) do some more stuff today,” said Head Coach Brian Daboll before practice. “We’ll take it right up to the end (game-time decision). He’s really the only guy we’ll take right up to the end… (Williams and Ojulari) should be good to go… barring anything that happens today (at practice).”

S Xavier McKinney, who is currently on the Reserve/Non-Football Injury List, practiced for the second straight day. However, he is not expected to play on Sunday. “I’d say that yesterday was kind of the first step of getting him back out there,” said Daboll. “I thought he moved around well. Conditioning, I thought, was good. Obviously, hasn’t played a game in a while. I’d probably say probably not this week, but he looked good up there.”

Hudson is officially “questionable” for Sunday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens; the other five players have been ruled out of the game.

We’ll just keep on rehabbing (Toney),” said Head Coach Brian Daboll before practice. “I think he’s making progress. We’ll see where we’re at next week.”

I think Leonard has had a good week, I think he’s taking good steps,” said Daboll. “I think Azeez has, too. I think today is an important day for both of those guys. I’d say Leo is probably a little further ahead.”

    When asked if the team had considered putting Toney on Injured Reserve, Head Coach Brian Daboll replied, “We haven’t talked about that, (General Manager) Joe (Schoen) and I. He’s getting better. He’s rehabbing, so hopefully we’ll see him out here as soon as we can.”
