Giants make Paulson Adebo a healthy scratch for their game against Washington

The Giants sat out Paulson Adebo despite his $17.25 million salary cap hit, with rookie Colton Hood active instead.

  • The New York Giants are not dressing cornerback Paulson Adebo, their highest-paid player, against the Washington Commanders on Thursday night, marking him as a healthy scratch for the prime-time matchup.
  • Adebo lost his starting job during coach John Harbaugh's first training camp, with Deonte Banks and Greg Newsome passing him on the depth chart while he remains halfway through a three-year, $54 million contract.
  • With a $24.2 million salary cap hit—the highest on the roster—Adebo was not listed on the injury report this week, despite a knee injury limiting his season appearances.
  • Rookie Colton Hood is active instead of Adebo for the matchup against the Washington Commanders, playing despite dislocating his left ring finger during practice on Tuesday.
  • October 25 marked the last time Adebo played every defensive snap at Houston when Newsome was unavailable; he saw no snaps in Sunday's victory at Philadelphia.
