Jon Runyan Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Giants vs Lions game on Sunday with our National Football League injury report.Jul 31, 2025
Returns to practice
Runyan (ankle) was cleared to start participating in training camp Wednesday, Pat Leonard of the Daily News reports.
ANALYSIS
Runyan missed the final four games of the 2024 season after undergoing ankle surgery in December. The 27-year-old had to heal both an ankle sprain and a torn ligament in his ankle. He was brought in a year ago from Green Bay to be a key piece on the offensive line, and will now protect Russell Wilson to start the season.

Recovering from multiple surgeries
Runyan had surgery to address a right ankle sprain and another to address a torn ligament in his ankle after sustaining injuries in Week 14 versus the Saints, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Runyan was sidelined for the Giants' last four games, but the specifics of his injuries weren't public knowledge until after the end of the regular season. It's not clear at this point whether the recovery timeline for the procedures will cut into the 2025 season.

Won't play again this season
Runyan (ankle) was moved to injured reserve Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Runyan hurt his ankle last Sunday against the Saints and was deemed week-to-week soon thereafter. It turns out the veteran lineman won't play again this season, as his move to IR will require him to sit out New York's final four contests. Aaron Stinnie is the most likely candidate to start at left guard in Runyan's absence.

Unavailable to face Baltimore
Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Friday that Runyan (ankle) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Daboll previously said Runyan is "week-to-week, maybe more" after picking up an ankle injury during New York's loss to the Saints in Week 14, so it's not entirely surprising to see the starting left guard ruled out to face Baltimore. Aaron Stinnie and Jake Kubas will both be candidates to step into the starting lineup with Runyan unavailable.

Could miss time
Head coach Brian Daboll stated Monday that Runyan (ankle) is "week-to-week, maybe more," Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Runyan's timeline could mean anything for the remainder of the Michigan product's season. A clearer picture of his status for this Sunday's game against the Ravens will likely come later in the week. If he's unable to suit up, Aaron Stinnie will likely be the next man up at left guard for the Giants.

Leaves game due to ankle injury
Runyan (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Saints, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Runyan suffered an ankle injury early in the third quarter of Sunday's game. Aaron Stinnie has taken over at left guard while Runyan is evaluated on the sidelines.

Left off injury report
Runyan (shoulder) wasn't on the Giants' injury report Wednesday ahead of Sunday's Week 1 contest against the Vikings.
ANALYSIS
Runyan missed some time in August due to a shoulder injury, but it appears he's recovered just in time for the Giants' Week 1 affair. The Michigan product inked a three-year, $30 million deal with the Giants this past offseason, and he's expected to start at left guard in his first season in New York.
Aug 20, 2024
Nearing return to practice
Runyan (shoulder) is nearing a return to the practice field with the Giants, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Runyan remained unavailable for Tuesday's practice session, but head coach Brian Daboll said that the offensive lineman is "close" to a return. Runyan signed with New York in the offseason and he's expected to operate as a starting offensive guard in 2024.
Mar 11, 2024
Joining Giants
The Giants plan to sign Runyan to a three-year, $30 million contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Runyan hasn't missed a game since he was drafted in the sixth round by Green Bay in 2020, so the Giants are expecting to get stability at one of their guard spots for the future. He likely fits best at right guard with the Giants.

Cleared for Monday
Runyan, who dealt with ankle and groin injuries earlier in the week, is without an injury designation ahead of Monday night's game against the Raiders, Tom Silverstein of The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Runyan has dealt with a concussion as well as ankle and groin injuries throughout the first four weeks of the Packers' 2023 campaign, and he has yet to miss a game. He was a non-participant during Thursday's practice, but he has no injury designation ahead of Monday night and it seems like he'll continue to play through his injuries.

Misses practice Thursday
Runyan sat out of the Packers' practice Thursday due to ankle and groin injuries, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Runyan sprained his ankle in Green Bay's Week 4 loss to Detroit but the groin issue is new, per Demovsky. The right guard looks in jeopardy of missing a start for the first time since Week 1 of the 2021 season.
Sep 29, 2023
Suffers ankle sprain
Runyan suffered an ankle sprain during Thursday night's 34-20 loss to Detroit, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
An already depleted Packers offensive line takes another blow, as Runyan was seen in a walking boot Friday. According to Demovsky, Green Bay's starting guard luckily avoided a high-ankle sprain and is hopeful to play during Week 5's contest against Las Vegas.
Sep 18, 2022
Active Sunday
Runyan (concussion) is available Sunday against the Bears, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Runyan sustained a concussion during last week's regular-season opener against the Vikings. However, he cleared the league's protocols and will be able to return to the field a week later.
Sep 11, 2022
Suffers concussion in opener
Runyan sustained a concussion during Sunday's loss to the Vikings.
ANALYSIS
Runyan started at left guard Sunday but was unavailable for most of the second half after being diagnosed with a concussion. He'll need to clear the league's concussion protocol if he hopes to suit up against the Bears next Sunday.
Nov 7, 2021
Returns to game
Runyan (illness) returned to Sunday's game against Kansas City, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Runyan was forced out of Sunday's contest in the first half but was back on the field in the third quarter. It seems likely that the left guard will be available for Sunday's Week 10 tilt against the Seahawks.
Nov 7, 2021
Dealing with illness
Runyan (illness) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
Runyan left the Packers' Week 9 matchup against the Chiefs in the first half and is questionable to return. Jake Hanson has taken over for Runyan at left guard.
Jun 5, 2020
Inks rookie deal
Runyan signed his four-year rookie contract with the Packers on Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The lineman out of Michigan will be a depth piece in 2020 as Green Bay is set at guard between Elgton Jenkins and Billy Turner. Runyan (6-3, 306) was a sixth-round selection in April.
