Picked up injury
Hawkins suffered a fractured lumbar spine in Sunday's loss to the Saints, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS

Good to go
Hawkins (ankle) is active for Monday's matchup with the Steelers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
An ankle injury led to a questionable designation for Hawkins heading into the evening, but he will ultimately play through the issue. The cornerback played 35 percent of defensive snaps in last week's loss to the Eagles. He figures to be in line for a similar workload in Pittsburgh assuming he avoids any setbacks.

Questionable for Week 8
The Giants announced Saturday that Hawkins (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Steelers, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Hawkins played 35 percent of defensive snaps Week 7 versus the Eagles, and he appears to have picked up an ankle injury during the contest. If he's able to gain clearance for Monday Night Football, he'll figure to once again handle a depth role in New York's secondary.

Misses practice Thursday
Hawkins (ankle) did not participate at the Giants' practice Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Hawkins popped up on the injury report Thursday, dealing with an apparent ankle injury after he recorded four solo tackles in the team's 28-3 loss to the Eagles in Week 7. The cornerback will have two more chances to return to the practice field prior to Monday's matchup with the Steelers.

Has inconsistent role as rookie
Hawkins recorded 35 tackles (24 solo) and one defensed pass over 17 contests in 2023.
ANALYSIS
After the Giants took him in the sixth round of the 2023 draft, Hawkins made a good impression in training camp and began the campaign as the team's slot corner. However, he struggled through three games and was then replaced by sophomore Cor'Dale Flott. Hawkins got a few more opportunities to show off his skills during the campaign, including in Week 7 and Week 11 with Adoree' Jackson out of commission, but he ended the season getting no defensive snaps in four of New York's final six games. The Old Dominion product will likely get a chance to continue to grow next year, but he'd have to take a step forward to move beyond a depth role.
Nov 19, 2023
Getting expanded role
Hawkins is expected to start at cornerback in place of Adoree' Jackson (concussion) on Sunday against the Commanders, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Hawkins started his rookie campaign as the Giants' nickel corner, but he lost that job after three games and saw his workload reduced. Now, the Old Dominion product will get another chance in an expanded role against Washington.
Aug 3, 2023
Showing out in camp
Hawkins has been getting some first-team reps in practice, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Hawkins' first-team looks have mostly been to give teammate Adoree' Jackson a breather. However, he's held his own against the offenses first unit, as Duggan specifically notes him breaking up passes to Jalin Hyatt and Isaiah Hodgins during practice Tuesday. The Old Dominion product wasn't selected until the sixth round of the 2023 Draft, but he's making the most of his opportunities as he works to earn a role on the Giants' 53-man roster.

Selected by G-Men
The Giants selected Hawkins in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 209th overall.
ANALYSIS
Hawkins began his collegiate career at a community college in Kansas before finishing his final two years at Old Dominion. He was a starter in those last two seasons, breaking up a combined 16 passes while recording three picks. He's a raw prospect given his lack of experience with high-level competition, but he'll have the chance to make the Giants' roster with a role on special teams.
