Is Devin Singletary playing tonight? Giants RB's status revealed for MNF game vs. Steelers

The New York Giants didn't have running back Devin Singletary available for two games against the Seattle Seahawks and Cincinnati Bengals in Weeks 5 and 6 due to a groin injury he suffered in practice on Oct. 2. However, he returned to the field last week in the 28-3 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, finishing with 18 yards from five carries.

Coach Brian Daboll said before last week's game that the team would monitor Singletary during the matchup to gauge his condition. Daboll suggested that they wanted to gradually get the running back into action instead of immediately charging him to carry big workloads.

So, what's Singletary's status when the Giants face the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday?

Will Devin Singletary play against the Steelers on MNF?

Devin Singletary is expected to suit up for the New York Giants against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football since he didn't appear on the team's injury report throughout the week.

Being available and healthy has been one of Singletary's biggest strengths in his time in the NFL, and he is anticipated to play in his second straight game following a two-week injury layoff.

This season, Singletary has accumulated 239 rushing yards and two scores. However, in his first game after recovering from injury this past week, he only managed 18 rushing yards and three receiving yards while playing as a backup behind Tyrone Tracy Jr.

Devin Singletary will be facing the Pittsburgh Steelers' strong run defense and may only get a handful of backfield touches.

How to watch Pittsburgh Steelers vs. New York Giants on Monday night?

To conclude NFL Week 8 action, the New York Giants, who are 2-5 and have just suffered their second straight loss, will take on the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road on Monday Night Football.

In their last game against the Philadelphia Eagles, the Giants found it difficult to generate any offense. Their game against the Steelers is important for their postseason prospects, as they are now three wins behind the Washington Commanders in the NFC East.

Meanwhile, the Steelers are coming off a resounding victory over the New York Jets last Sunday, and boast a two-game winning streak. With a 5-2 record, Pittsburgh is tied with the Baltimore Ravens for the top spot in the AFC North.
