Giants-Steelers inactives: Golden Tate won’t play for Giants

Golden Tate will not play for the New York Giants on Monday night when they face the Pittsburgh Steelers, per multiple reports. Tate, who has been dealing with a hamstring injury, will headline the Giants’ inactive list.

Incredibly, Tate’s absence means that the Giants have still never gotten Tate, Saquon Barkley, Evan Engram, Sterling Shepard and Darius Slayton into a game at any time in the past two seasons.

It could be considered surprising that the Giants did not activate a wide receiver with Tate out.

Guard David DeCastro (knee) is out for the Steelers.
