Cor'Dale Flott Injury News & Updates

Flott has cleared the NFL's concussion protocol, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Flott suffered a concussion in Week 8 versus Philadelphia and didn't play this past Sunday versus San Francisco. However, he logged a full practice Thursday following Wednesday's limited session and is now officially through concussion protocol. Flott should thus be able to return to action Sunday against Chicago.

Flott (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Flott is still awaiting official clearance from the concussion protocol, but practicing in full represents a significant step in the right direction. If he gains full clearance, including from an independent neurologist, Flott will handle his usual starting role at cornerback during Sunday's road matchup against the Bears.

Flott (concussion) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Flott was held out of practice during Week 9 prep due to a concussion he sustained in Week 8 against the Eagles. He was cleared to return to practice Wednesday as a non-contact participant, an indication that he is progressing through the league's five-step concussion protocol. Flott will need to pass an evaluation from an independent neurologist in order to be cleared to play Sunday against the Bears.

Flott (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

With Flott joining Paulson Adebo (knee) on the sidelines this week, Korie Black should once again see increased playing time at cornerback alongside Deonte Banks and Dru Phillips.

Flott (concussion) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Flott sustained a concussion during Sunday's game at Philadelphia, and now he's sitting out practice as the Giants begin preparations for Week 9. He'll probably need to get back to practice Thursday or Friday to have a chance to suit up Sunday versus the 49ers.

Flott (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Flott went to the locker room late in the first half after taking a hit to the head, and he has entered the league's concussion protocol after being evaluated by medical staff. Deonte Banks and Korie Black will serve as the Giants' outside corners the rest of the way.

Flott is being evaluated for a possible concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Eagles, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

Flott took a hit to the head late in the second quarter, and he'll be evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. With Paulson Adebo (knee) inactive, Deonte Banks and Korie Black will see extended work at outside corner for as long as Flott is sidelined.

Flott (undisclosed) recorded a pass deflection during the Giants' preseason win over the Jets on Saturday.

Flott had missed some time in practice with an undisclosed injury but is now healthy again. He is competing with Deonte Banks to serve as one of the team's starting outside cornerbacks opposite Paulson Adebo.

Flott did not participate in Saturday's training camp practice due to an undisclosed injury, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

The type and severity of Flott's injury isn't clear, but it has kept him out of practice for the past two days. Reps with the first-team defense are important for Flott, who is competing against Deonte Banks and Paulson Adebo for the starting outside corner job. Flott will look to get back on the practice field and be available for the Giants' preseason opener against the Bills on Saturday, Aug. 9.

Flott and Deonte Banks are in a training-camp battle for a starting cornerback spot, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Flott (10 starts) and Banks (14 starts) both worked primarily as starters last year, but one will lose that role after the Giants brought in Paulson Adebo during the offseason to be their top corner. Flott (53 stops, seven defensed passes) and Banks (52 tackles, 12 pass defenses) put up similar numbers in 2024, though they had just one interception between them as New York's secondary as a whole struggled to collect turnovers. Per Duggan, Flott and Banks have been alternating turns in the rotation during camp, so it appears this will be a genuine position battle throughout the preseason.

Flott posted 53 tackles (36 solo) and seven pass defenses, including one interception, in 14 games (10 starts) during the 2024 campaign.

Flott registered the highest numbers of his career in multiple categories, including tackles and defensed passes. Uncoincidentally, he also played the most defensive snaps (637) of his three-year professional career. Flott did give way as a starter to Adoree' Jackson for two games late in the season, but Flott was still on the field for about half of New York's defensive snaps during those contests. Jackson will be a free agent at the conclusion of the season and is unlikely to return to New York, giving Flott -- who will be in the final year of his rookie contract -- a good chance of handling a starting role again next year unless the Giants decide to upgrade at the cornerback position.

Flott registered three tackles (all solo) and an interception in Sunday's 34-7 Week 16 loss to the Falcons.

Flott returned from a two-game absence that was caused by a quadriceps injury. He recorded his first interception of the campaign just before halftime, picking off a Michael Penix pass in the end zone after the ball was tipped by Kyle Pitts. Flott played 61 percent of New York's defensive snaps in the contest as the team elected to deploy a rotation at cornerback that included Deonte Banks and Adoree' Jackson in addition to Flott, while Dru Phillips missed just two snaps from the slot.

Flott (quadriceps) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Falcons and is expected to play, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Flott will return from a two-game absence and give the Giants' secondary a boost ahead of a matchup with rookie QB Michael Penix and WRs Drake London and Darnell Mooney. Through 11 appearances this season, Flott has 45 tackles (30 solo) and six pass breakups.

Flott (quadriceps) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.

The third-year corner from LSU was sidelined for the Giants' Week 15 loss to the Ravens due to a quadriceps injury, so Wednesday's limited session could be a step toward returning to the field. Flott's practice participation Thursday and Friday will likely serve as the best indication of whether he can play through the issue in Week 16, when the Giants face the Falcons.

Flott (quadriceps) is inactive for Sunday's battle against Baltimore, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Flott was active despite the quad injury last Sunday against the Saints, but he didn't end up seeing the field. The third-year cornerback continues to be bothered by the issue and won't suit up versus the Ravens. Deonte Banks (ribs) is also inactive Sunday, so Adoree' Jackson and Art Green will likely handle cornerback duties against Baltimore.

Flott (quadriceps) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Flott missed last week's loss to the Saints and appears likely to be absent for Week 15. Top CB Deonte' Banks (ribs) is questionable after a two-game absence. If neither can play, the Giants will likely again roll with Adoree' Jackson, Tre Hawkins and Greg Stroman at cornerback.

Flott (quadriceps) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Flott was able to play through quadricep and knee injuries in Sunday's loss to the Saints, recording five total tackles and two passes defended over 67 defensive snaps. His limited practice session Wednesday is likely precautionary; however, he could be in jeopardy of missing the Giants' Week 15 game against the Ravens if his injuries worsened in Week 14.

Flott (quadriceps/knee) is active for Sunday's Week 14 tilt against New Orleans, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Flott was a late addition to New York's injury report when he was deemed questionable Saturday, but he'll be able to take the field against the Saints. The third-year cornerback will fill his usual starting role, and he'll be paired with Adoree' Jackson since Deonte Banks (ribs) is missing another game. Flott has logged at least 90 percent of New York's defensive snaps in each of his past two contests.

Flott (quadriceps/knee) is questionable to play Sunday against the Saints, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.

Flott wasn't listed on the injury report for any of the Giants' three practices this past week, but he is now dealing with knee and quadriceps injury that put his status for Sunday's game into question. His official status for Sunday's game may not be known until the Giants announce their inactives list approximately 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. With Deonte Banks (rib) already out and Flott potentially sidelined as well, the Giants would turn to Art Green and Adoree' Jackson to serve as the starting outside cornerbacks.

Flott (groin) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Commanders, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.

Flott logged a week of limited practice sessions after missing the Giants' Week 8 loss to the Steelers due to a groin issue. Expect the third-year pro to serve as the Giants' No. 3 outside cornerback behind both Deonte Banks and Nick McCloud in Week 9 now that he's returned to full health.

Flott (groin) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

Flott suffered a groin injury in Week 7 against the Eagles, which was severe enough for him to be ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Steelers. He'll have two more chances to upgrade his practice participation this week ahead of Sunday's NFC East clash against the Commanders. Across seven regular-season outings, Flott has logged 30 tackles (20 solo) and three pass breakups.

Flott (groin) is inactive for Monday Night Football against the Steelers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Flott was able to log two limited practice sessions late in the week, but he'll ultimately be forced to sit as a result of a groin injury. In his absence, Tre Hawkins will step into a more significant role in New York's secondary.

Flott (groin) was limited in practice Saturday and is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Steelers, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

Flott has logged back-to-back limited practice sessions, but it looks like he nonetheless is trending in the wrong direction for Monday Night Football. Tre Hawkins will stand to inherit an expanded role on defense if Flott is indeed ruled out for Week 8.

Flott (groin) was a limited participant in Friday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Flott was unable to practice Thursday after sustaining a groin injury in the Giants' Week 7 loss to the Eagles. However, the third-year pro upgraded to limited participation Friday, suggesting he could suit up for Monday night's matchup against the Steelers. Flott's participation Saturday will likely provide the best indication of whether he can play through his groin issue in Week 8.

Flott is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Eagles due to a groin injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Flott sustained the injury midway through the second quarter. Tre Hawkins has taken over at corner while Flott is sidelined.

Flott (quadriceps) was not listed on the Giants' injury report Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Flott sustained a quadriceps injury in mid-August, which kept him out of the Giants' final two preseason games. Now that he's healthy, he'll be able to work with the first-team defense during practice. The 2022 third-round pick is slated to start at corner opposite Deonte Banks, with Adoree' Jackson providing depth at the position.

Flott is still considered week-to-week with a quad injury, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.

The 2022 third-round pick out of LSU missed the Giants' last week of practice with this quad issue, and it appears that he still needs more time before returning to the field. While Flott remains sidelined, expect Darnay Holmes and Tre Hawkins to see more reps with the Giants' first-team defense.

Flott is dealing with a quad injury and will miss the coming week, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Flott is listed as the Giants' starting left cornerback. The 2022 third-round pick started seven of the 14 games he played in last year and recorded 36 tackles and five passes defensed, including one interception.

Flott tallied 36 tackles (25 solo) and five defensed passes, including one interception, over 14 games in 2023.

Flott missed the first three games of the campaign due primarily to a hamstring injury, but he took over as the Giants' slot corner in Week 4 and logged at least half of the team's defensive snaps in all but three weeks thereafter. The 2022 third-round draft pick performed competently in the role and recorded his first career pickoff in Week 10 against Dallas. Flott has two years remaining on his rookie deal and figures to enter next season slated for a workload similar to that which he was given in 2023.

Flott was ejected from the Giants' game versus the Commanders on Sunday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Flott was ejected alongside Curtis Samuel after a fight broke out between the two teams following a Sam Howell rushing touchdown. With the 22-year-old now done for the day, Dane Belton should take over at safety.

Flott (shoulder) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game at the Commanders, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

Flott was a full participant at practice Friday, and there's now no doubt as to his status for Week 11. With Adoree' Jackson out due to a concussion, Flott could be in line for an expanded role Sunday.

Flott won't return to Sunday's game against the Cowboys due to a shoulder injury, Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic reports.

Flott was initially considered questionable to return to Sunday's matchup, but he'll be unavailable for most of the second half with the game out of reach. He recorded two solo tackles and an interception before his departure, and it's unclear whether he'll be available for next Sunday's game in Washington.

Flott is considered questionable to return to Sunday's matchup with the Cowboys due to a shoulder injury, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

It is unclear how serious Flott's shoulder issue is, but his status to return is uncertain. With Deonte Banks (ankle) also considered questionable, Tre Hawkins and Darnay Holmes are the only healthy corners for New York until further notice.

Flott (ankle) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against Buffalo, Pat Leonard of The New York Daily News reports.

The 22-year-old corner went from limited participation during Wednesday and Thursday's practices to a full go Friday, and he's since been removed from the team's injury report. Flott will likely play a rotational role in the Giants' secondary this coming Sunday.

Flott (coach's decision) is inactive Thursday versus the 49ers.

Flott has been dealing with a hamstring injury and it's unclear if head coach Brian Daboll is holding him out of the contest as a result or not. Darnay Holmes will likely see an uptick in usage in Flott's absence.

Flott (hamstring) was a full participant at practice Friday ahead of Sunday's game at the Cardinals.

After missing Week 1 with a hamstring injury, Flott appears to be ready to play in Week 2 at Arizona. He figures to serve as a depth option behind starters Adoree' Jackson, Tre Hawkins and Deonte Banks.

Flott (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday ahead of Sunday's game at Arizona, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Flott was forced to sit out of Week 1 with a hamstring injury, and his status for Week 2 is now up in the air. A limited practice is at least a step in the right direction though, and he still has Thursday and Friday to potentially log full participation.

Flott (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record

Flott was doubtful ahead of Sunday's regular-season opener, so his status doesn't come as a significant surprise. Darnay Holmes could see increased playing time against Dallas, while Flott's next chance to return will be Sept. 17 against Arizona.

Flott (hamstring) is listed as doubtful Friday for Sunday's game versus the Cowboys, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

It's looking increasingly likely that the hamstring issue Flott is dealing with will keep him sidelined for the Giants' regular-season opener. Darnay Holmes is a likely candidate to see increased reps if Flott is forced to sit out.

Flott (hamstring) should be ready to play Week 1 against the Cowboys, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Flott was reportedly dealing with an abdominal injury earlier in camp, and it's not clear if the two are related. Either way, the LSU product should be a depth piece in the team's secondary and is expected to be ready to compete in the season opener in two weeks.

Flott was forced out of Friday's preseason opener against the Panthers due to an abdominal injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

There is no word on the severity of Flott's injury other than he came up in some pain after a red zone stop towards the end of the first half. Prior to exiting, he recorded two tackles (one solo) and one pass defensed. He is expected to provide depth at cornerback for the Giants this season when healthy.

Flott added muscle during the offseason in an effort to improve his tackling in the slot, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.

Flott was forced to play mostly as an outside corner during his rookie campaign, but he'll be in an open competition with Darnay Holmes during training camp for a starting slot corner position. While Flott showed promise in coverage as a rookie, he struggled with his tackling at times and also missed five games due to a calf injury. His combine weight was listed as 175 pounds, but he recently told Giants reporter John Schmeelk that he's now up to 180.

Flott has seemingly recovered from his hamstring injury, John Schmeelk of the Giants' official site reports.

Flott suffered a hamstring injury ahead of the Giants' divisional-round loss to the Eagles but is now practicing once again. The 21-year-old played in 11 games during his rookie season, logging 26 tackles (15 solo) and will now compete for a larger role heading into his sophomore campaign.

Flott (hamstring) has been ruled out for the rest of Saturday's game against the Eagles, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

The exact timing or nature of the injury is unclear, but Flott has likely made the last appearance of his rookie season. He had a successful campaign as a rotational member of the Giants' secondary, and he racked up 26 tackles and two passes defended across 11 games in the regular season.

Flott tallied 26 tackles (15 solo), two defended passes and a forced fumble in 11 regular-season games during his rookie campaign.

A third-round pick out of LSU, Flott was limited to two special-teams snaps in New York's opening contest of the regular season but got the opportunity start the following week with Aaron Robinson out of action. However, Flott missed all of Weeks 4 through 10 due to a calf injury, and he played under half of the Giants' defensive snaps in four of his eight games following his Week 11 return. Flott turned 21 in August and naturally still needs to further develop to reach his potential, but he showed enough as a rookie to warrant continued opportunities next season.

Flott doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against Washington, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Flott suffered a concussion during the Giants' Thanksgiving Day loss to Dallas, but he was able to clear protocols ahead of Week 13. With Adoree' Jackson (knee) ruled out and Fabian Moreau (oblique) considered questionable, Flott figures to have a sizable role in New York's secondary during Sunday's divisional matchup against the Commanders.

Flott suffered a concussion in Thursday's game against the Giants and will not return, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

With starting cornerbacks Fabian Moreau and Adoree' Jackson sidelined, Flott played a more prominent role Thursday than he usually does. However, his concussion brought about an early end to his evening.

Flott is active for Sunday's matchup against Houston.

Flott missed five straight games due to a calf injury, but he'll return to action in Week 10. Across three appearances, the rookie third-round pick has totaled five tackles, but it's unclear what his role will be following a lengthy absence.

Flott (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Seahawks, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Flott will miss a fifth straight game due to a calf injury. Fabian Moreau figures to continue seeing an increased role in Flott's absence.

Flott (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Flott did not practice in any capacity during the week and is in line for his fourth consecutive absence. Fabian Moreau has seen his role solidified as one of the team's top corners in Flott's absence, playing at least 78 percent of snaps in three consecutive games.

Flott (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Ravens, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Flott will miss a third consecutive contest due to a calf injury. His next chance to suit up will come in Week 7 against the Jaguars.

Flott (calf) won't practice Wednesday, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

Flott has missed back-to-back games due to a calf injury, and despite reports that the cornerback would be sidelined for multiple weeks, he hasn't been placed on injured reserve. Unless he returns to practice Thursday or Friday, Flott will likely be ruled out for a third consecutive contest.

Flott (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Packers, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

Flott missed the Giants' Week 4 win over the Bears with a calf injury and is expected to miss the next couple of weeks according to a report from Dan Duggan of The Athletic. With the corner unavailable against Green Bay, expect Fabian Moreau to see an increased workload.

Flott (calf) is out Sunday against the Bears, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Flott was unable to practice this week, and he's expected to miss multiple weeks according to a previous report from, Dan Duggan of The Athletic. His absence should lead to a larger role for Fabian Moreau, who was signed to the active roster from the practice squad Wednesday.

Flott (calf) was a non-participant in practice Thursday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Flott also missed practice Wednesday, and Duggan notes in his tweet that Flott is likely to miss a few weeks, as he's getting around using a walking scooter. The Giants secondary continues to deal with injuries, as Aaron Robinson (appendix), Justin Layne (concussion) and Nick McCloud (hamstring) are all listed questionable for Sunday against the Bears.

Flott will likely start Sunday's game against Carolina in place of Aaron Robinson (appendix), Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Flott played only two snaps -- both on special teams -- in the Giants' season-opening win against Tennessee, but he's expected to take Robinson's starting cornerback slot after the latter underwent an appendectomy this week. It will be a big opportunity for Flott to impress in his first shot at substantial regular-season playing time since New York took him in the third round of this year's draft.

Flott (groin) is starting Sunday's preseason finale against the Jets, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

Flott suffered a groin injury in New York's first preseason contest and didn't play in the following exhibition game. However, he's back in action for the preseason finale against the Jets. The rookie third-round draft pick is vying for a depth role in the Giant's secondary.

Flott (groin) will not return to Thursday's preseason matchup against the Patriots, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Flott apparently suffered a groin injury at some point during Thursday night's exhibition game as he was not listed with any prior issues coming into the matchup. With the rookie third-round pick sidelined, cornerbacks Darren Evans, Michael Jacquet and Khalil Dorsey figure to play more prominent roles during the second half against New England.

The Giants selected Flott in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 81st overall.

Playing alongside Derek Stingley at LSU, Flott comes to the NFL at 6-foot, 178 pounds and boasting 4.50 speed. This pick appears to be something of a reach, considering the other corners on the board and Flott's lack of standout traits. He will compete for a depth role in New York's secondary.
