The Giants quarterback seemed to take a step forward in his concussion recovery this past week. Does that mean he is playing in Week 12?

The New York Giants scouted a number of games ahead of their Week 12 clash, including Duke vs. North Carolina.

Week 12 of the NFL slate sees the Detroit Lions welcome the New York Giants to Ford Field for a Sunday afternoon game. The 6-4 Lions are looking to bounce back off a loss to the Eagles, while the 2-9 Giants attempt to avoid being the first team officially eliminated from postseason contention.

Giants wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson leads all slot receivers in catches (37), receiving yards (426), and yards after the catch (224) when aligned in the slot. Dane Belton’s 15 special teams tackles are the most by a Giant since Spencer Paysinger had 20 in 2012. Belton’s total is third in the NFL.

ESPN draft analyst Matt Miller recently proposed a trade scenario in which Cleveland would send the No. 3 overall pick and two third-rounders to New York for the No. 2 selection. In that scenario, the Browns would select Oregon QB Dante Moore, while the Giants would grab Miami Hurricanes right tackle Francis Mauigoa.
