PITTSBURGH — The New York Giants benched last year’s first-round pick Deonte Banks during Monday night’s 26-18 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers for repeated lack of effort.

Banks was pulled in the second quarter for cornerback Greg Stroman Jr., who was elevated from the practice squad earlier in the day. The move came after Banks knocked wide receiver <a data-player-guid="ab0fe70b-0fb4-fc8e-55e1-8f5204851a9d"

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — It was five games into the Giants’ Dexter Lawrence II experiment at nose tackle when his name was brought to national attention. During his weekly appearance on the “Pat McAfee Show,” then-Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers mentioned Lawrence’s name unprompted.

Rodgers had just seen firsthand the wreckage that the 350-pound Lawrence could do to the interior of an offensive

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The door is now cracked opened. New York Giants coach Brian Daboll tried to slam it shut after last week’s loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, but it won’t ever sit flush again — not now that he benched quarterback Daniel Jones in the fourth quarter Sunday.

Daboll went into the locker room after a 28-3 loss and immediately

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — New York Giants cornerback Deonte Banks slowed down while trying to tackle quarterback Jalen Hurts during a fourth-quarter play on Sunday. He didn’t make the play near the sideline despite having an angle, and Hurts ran for another 7 yards and a first down.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The struggling New York Giants aren’t making any coach or general manager change during the season. They don’t intend to make one with Brian Daboll or Joe Schoen after the year either.

Owner John Mara made his intentions clear Wednesday night despite his team being 2-5 entering Monday night’s matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He said he wanted to be

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The New York Giants pulled starting quarterback Daniel Jones early in the fourth quarter to “create a spark,” coach Brian Daboll said after a 28-3 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles at MetLife Stadium.

Daboll said Jones will remain his starting quarterback ahead of Drew Lock, who also didn’t have much success Sunday.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers didn’t remember the end of the play two weeks ago when he suffered a concussion against the Dallas Cowboys. The video he said showed him he was unconscious on the play.

The whole situation was “scary,” according to the rookie wide receiver.
