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.
