Lawrence (elbow) was placed on injured reserve Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Lawrence dislocated his elbow in Thursday's game against the Cowboys and was expected to miss the remainder of the season. His move to injured reserve all but assures it, as the Giants will only have their Week 18 game remaining once he's eligible to return to the active roster.

Giants' Deonte Banks: Not playing on Thanksgiving Day
Rotowire
Banks (ribs) is inactive for Thursday's Week 13 contest against the Cowboys, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Banks was deemed limited in practice throughout the week and entered Thursday's game questionable to suit up, but he's not going to be able to take the field against Dallas. The second-year cornerback had started each of New York's 11 games this season, so his absence is a significant one for the team's secondary. Adoree' Jackson could be asked to step up and try to slow down CeeDee Lamb on Thursday.

Giants' Azeez Ojulari: Set to go on injured reserve
Rotowire
Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Tuesday that the Giants are planning on placing Ojulari (toe) on injured reserve.
Ojulari suffered a toe injury during the Giants' 30-7 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday. The injury isn't severe enough to require surgery, but the 24-year-old linebacker will be sidelined for multiple weeks and will wear a walking boot to aid in the healing process. Should he be placed on injured reserve before Thursday's game against the Cowboys, the earliest Ojulari would be allowed to return from IR would be Week 17 against the Colts on Sunday, Dec. 29. Patrick Johnson will be the Giants' rotational outside linebacker behind starters Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux due to Ojulari's injury.
