Giants vs. Panthers live updates: First-half open thread

The New York Giants begin an unusual stretch of three consecutive games at home on Sunday when they host the Carolina Panthers (1 p.m. ET/FOX).

The 1-0 Giants are looking to go 2-0 for the first time since 2016. The Panthers are 0-1. The Giants enter the game as 1-point favorites, per DraftKings.

The Giants will again be playing without edge defenders Kayvon Thibodeaux (knee) and Azeez Ojulari (calf). Wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson (knee), cornerback Aaron Robinson (appendicitis), cornerback Nick McCloud (hamstring) and safety Jason Pinnock (shoulder) will also be sidelined.
