Sent to injured reserve
The Broncos placed Peart (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Peart started at left guard Sunday against the Jets after the Broncos placed starter Ben Powers (biceps) on injured reserve Saturday. Denver will now be down to its third-stringer at the position. The team signed Calvin Throckmorton off the practice squad, and he'll be an option along with Alex Palczewski.

Moves west
Peart signed a one-year contract with the Broncos on Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Peart spent the first four seasons of his career in New York after getting selected in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft. However, the 26-year-old has mostly operated in a reserve role, starting just seven games for the Giants during that time. He'll likely be a depth option for Denver in 2024.

Activated off IR
Peart (shoulder) was activated off the Giants' injured reserve Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Peart has been out since Week 5 with a shoulder injury but is now eligible to return to the field. The 26-year-old should provide solid depth for the Giants down the stretch as he can play both left and right tackle.
Dec 20, 2023
Window opens
Peart (shoulder) will be designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Peart will now be able to practice with the team and should return to action before the season comes to a close. He'll be eligible to play once he is returned to the 53-man roster, which could happen as soon as Monday against the Eagles.

Lands on IR
The Giants have placed Peart (shoulder) on injured reserve, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Peart has missed New York's previous two games, and his placement on IR means he will be sidelined at least four more. His next chance to suit up again as a depth tackle will come on Nov. 26 against the Patriots.

Won't face Washington
Peart (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site, asgdga reports.
ANALYSIS
Peart's absence will be notable for the Giants, given the team's plethora of injuries along the offensive line Week 7. Andrew Thomas (hamstring) and John Michael Schmitz (shoulder) are again also sidelined, while Joshua Ezeudu (toe) and Shane Lemieux (biceps) both recently had to be placed on IR.
Oct 13, 2023
Won't play Sunday
Peart (shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against Buffalo, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old tackle suffered a shoulder injury sometime in the last week and will miss his first game of the season this coming Sunday. Peart plays a rotational role on a depleted Giants' offensive line that's already without Andrew Thomas (hamstring) and John Michael Schmitz (shoulder).

Full participant in practice
Peart (undisclosed) was a full participant in the Giants' practice Friday.
ANALYSIS
Peart is set to play against the Cardinals on Sunday despite undergoing an MRI following the team's Week 1 loss to Dallas. With Andrew Thomas (hamstring) questionable for Sunday's matchup, Peart could be in line to start at left tackle if Thomas is unable to play.
Sep 11, 2023
Receives MRI
Peart (undisclosed) has undergone an MRI after Sunday's loss to the Cowboys, although an update on his status won't be made available until Wednesday, according to head coach Brian Daboll, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Peart's injury details are unclear, as well as his status for Sunday against the Cardinals. With starting left tackle Andrew Thomas (hamstring) also dealing with an injury, the team's situation at offensive tackle is murky going into Week 2. However, with an update on each coming Wednesday, things could be clearer as their matchup with Arizona looms.
Nov 13, 2022
Activated from PUP list
The Giants activated Peart from the reserve/PUP list Saturday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Peart began the season on the reserve/PUP list while rehabbing from a torn ACL he suffered last December. Now that he's available, the 25-year-old offensive lineman figures to operate as the primary backup to Andrew Thomas.
Oct 27, 2022
Ready to practie
Peart (knee) was designated to return from the reserve/PUP list Thursday, Michael Eisen of the Giants' official site reported Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Peart suffered a torn ACL in December, but he's ready to return to the practice field. He now has a 21-day window to prove he's ready to play and be placed on the 53-man roster. Once he joins the active roster he'll provide depth at offensive tackle.
Aug 23, 2022
Joins reserve/PUP list
The Giants placed Gates (knee) on the team's reserve/PUP list Tuesday, Michael Eisen of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Peart's addition to this list means he will be forced to sit out at least the first four games of the regular season as he continues to rehab a torn ACL suffered in December. The 2020 third-round pick started five of 15 games for the Giants last year, and he should slot into a reserve role on the team's offensive line once healthy again in 2022.
Jul 26, 2022
Lands on PUP list
Peart (knee) was placed on the active/PUP list Tuesday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
ANALYSIS
Peart suffered a season-ending ACL tear in December, and his availability for Week 1 is still up in the air. Once healthy, Peart will compete for a job on the Giants' offensive line, although the recent addition of 2022 first-round selection Evan Neal will likely lead to a reserve role for Peart.
May 26, 2022
Still rehabbing ACL
Peart (knee) didn't participate in Thursday's voluntary OTAs, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Peart sustained a torn ACL at the end of December, so it's not surprising to see the soon-to-be 25-year-old still sidelined. The 2020 third-round pick's status during training camp in July should give a better indication as to whether or not he'll be available to start the regular season.
Jan 6, 2022
Back to injured reserve
The Giants activated Peart (knee) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Peart has already been ruled out for the season after tearing his left ACL, so his shift from the COVID list to IR is merely a formality.
Jan 4, 2022
Enters COVID protocols
Peart (knee) was shifted from IR to the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, as a result of testing positive for the virus, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.
ANALYSIS
Peart was placed on IR after suffering a torn ACL in a Week 16 loss to the Eagles. Peart's move to the COVID list will be a slight detour on a long road to recovery while working toward a return in 2022.
Dec 30, 2021
Placed on injured reserve
Peart (knee) was placed on injured reserve Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Peart's placement on IR was expected after the 24-year-old sustained a torn ACL in Sunday's loss to Philadelphia. Nate Solder (undisclosed) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday and should serve as the Giants' starting right tackle.
Dec 27, 2021
Done for season
Peart tore his ACL in Sunday's loss to Philadelphia and is out for the season, Paul Schwartz of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Peart was ruled out of Sunday's game with a knee sprain, though the injury turned out to be worse than originally feared. With Peart's season over, Nate Solder (undisclosed) will be locked into the right tackle job once he's activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list.
Dec 26, 2021
Out with knee sprain
Peart (knee) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against Philadelphia due to a left knee sprain, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.
ANALYSIS
The extent of the injury is uncertain, but it is serious enough to keep Peart from returning to the contest Sunday. Korey Cunningham figures to take over at right tackle, while Peart will try to recover in time for next week's game at Chicago.
Dec 26, 2021
Suffers knee sprain Sunday
Peart (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the against the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Peart, who drew the start at right tackle in place of Nate Solder (COVID-19 protocols), suffered a right knee sprain in the first half. If he is unable to return, then Korey Cunningham would likely be the next man up.
Aug 3, 2021
Passed physical, off PUP list
Peart (back) passed his physical and was removed from the preseason PUP list, making him eligible to return to practice, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
ANALYSIS
Peart spent just over a week rehabbing his back injury and is now set to return to practice. The 2020 third-round pick served primary as the swing offensive tackle for the Giants last year, but it appears he may be in line for some starts at right tackle with Cameron Fleming joining the Broncos.
Jul 23, 2021
Starts training camp on PUP list
Peart (back) was placed on the PUP-P list Friday, Michael Eisen of Giants.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Peart will start training camp on the PUP-P list, but his injury doesn't appear to put him in jeopardy for the start of the regular season. The 2020 third-round pick served primary as the swing offensive tackle for the Giants last year.
Dec 13, 2020
Ready to rock
Peart (illness) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Peart was activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list last week, but he will suit up Sunday for the first time since his activation. Expect the rookie out of Connecticut to handle his usual depth role as a swing offensive tackle for Sunday's game.
Dec 1, 2020
Back from COVID list
Peart (illness) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old tested positive for COVID-19 on Nov. 20, but he's cleared the league protocols and is back with the Giants. Peart should provide depth at the offensive tackle spots now that he's returned.
Nov 25, 2020
Ruled out for Week 12
Peart (illness) will not be available in Cincinnati on Sunday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Peart won't be eligible to return from the reserve/COVID-19 list in time to face the Bengals. He tested positive for the virus Nov. 20. The rookie out of Connecticut's absence will detract from New York's offensive line depth.
Nov 20, 2020
Hits COVID-19 list
The Giants will place Peart (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list after he tested positive, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Peart will need to attain full medical clearance before returning to team facilities, so it's possible that he could miss Week 12 against the Bengals. The rookie third-round pick has regularly handled a depth role along New York's offensive line.
