Pinnock posted eight tackles (five solo), including one for loss, in a 34-7 defeat against the Falcons in Week 16. Pinnock finished second on the Giants in stops behind Darius Muasau (11). Pinnock's eight tackles were the second-most he's recorded in a game this season -- he had nine Week 2 against Washington. Though the fourth-year safety hasn't reached double-digit tackles in any contest on the campaign, he's established a reliable floor with at least five stops in each of his past eight games.

Pinnock posted eight tackles (five solo), including one for loss, in a 34-7 defeat against the Falcons in Week 16. Pinnock finished second on the Giants in stops behind Darius Muasau (11). Pinnock's eight tackles were the second-most he's recorded in a game this season -- he had nine Week 2 against Washington. Though the fourth-year safety hasn't reached double-digit tackles in any contest on the campaign, he's established a reliable floor with at least five stops in each of his past eight games.
Pinnock (abdomen) was left off the Giants' injury report Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Pinnock missed the Giants' Week 10 loss to the Panthers due to an abdomen injury, but his omission from Wednesday's injury report suggests that the team's Week 11 bye provided enough time to recover from the issue. Now that Pinnock is back at full health, he's expected to start alongside Tyler Nubin (back) as part of the Giants' top safety duo.
Pinnock (abdomen) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Panthers in Munich, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Pinnock didn't appear on the Giants' initial Week 10 injury report before he was listed with an abdominal injury after being a limited participant at Thursday's practice. He then sat out Friday's practice entirely and was listed as questionable heading into the weekend before being made inactive for the first time this season. With Pinnock unavailable in Germany, the Giants will turn to Dane Belton to start at safety alongside Tyler Nubin, according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Pinnock (abdomen) is questionable for Sunday's game versus Carolina, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports. Pinnock was added to the Giants' injury report Thursday, and he was unable to practice Friday. Anthony Johnson and Dane Belton would be next in line for safety snaps alongside Tyler Nubin if Pinnock is unable to play in Germany.
Pinnock (abdomen) was limited in Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Pinnock was a full participant in Wednesday's practice and wasn't even listed on the injury report, so this is a new issue for him. He'd previously missed practice reps with a knee injury. Pinnock has started all nine games this season, logging 43 tackles (28 solo), including 3.0 sacks, and one pass breakup.
Pinnock (knee) was left off the Giants' injury report Wednesday. Pinnock sustained a knee injury in the Giants' Week 6 loss to the Bengals, but his omission from Wednesday's injury report suggests he's already moved past the issue. The Pittsburgh product has recorded 28 total tackles, including 3.0 sacks, and defended one pass across the Giants' first six games. He's expected to start alongside Tyler Nubin in New York's secondary in Week 7, when the Giants host the Eagles.
Pinnock (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bengals, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. The starting free safety got injured while trying to chase down Bengals' quarterback Joe Burrow on the latter's 47-yard touchdown run in the first quarter. Pinnock made one tackle before exiting. Anthony Johnson is his backup.
Pinnock recorded seven tackles (two solo), including a sack, in a 21-15 victory versus the Browns on Sunday. Pinnock's sack came early in the third quarter and pushed Cleveland back five yards on third down, which may have been a factor in Dustin Hopkins missing a 53-yard field-goal try on the next play. Pinnock has already set a career high with 3.0 sacks this season, besting the 2.0 sacks he notched last year. The safety had only two tackles in Week 1 against Minnesota but has recorded 16 total tackles across two contests since.
Pinnock registered nine tackles (eight solo), including 2.0 sacks, against Washington in Sunday's Week 2 loss. Pinnock's pair of sacks Sunday equaled the amount he tallied over 16 games and 976 defensive snaps last season. Both takedowns came as a result of Jayden Daniels trying to run rather than throw the ball away while under pressure, so it's probably not wise to assume Pinnock will have many performances like Sunday's. Still, the sacks look good on the stat sheet, as do Pinnock's nine total stops -- last season, he reached that mark only twice.
