McCloud (illness) has been ruled active for Sunday's game against the Commanders.
McCloud was in and out of practice Week 15 while dealing with an illness. Nevertheless, he'll still suit up for this important divisional matchup against Washington. With Adoree' Jackson (knee) and Rodarius Williams (coach's decision) both inactive, expect McCloud to continue playing an every-down role as one of four available cornerbacks for the Giants.

Giants' Nick McCloud: Tallies eight tackles Week 13
Rotowire
McCloud finished with eight tackles (six solo) and two defended passes Sunday in a 20-20 tie versus Washington.
McCloud got his second straight start in the absence of Adoree' Jackson (hand), and he again played on 100 percent of New York's defensive snaps. He made the most of the opportunity by tying a career high with eight tackles -- a mark he had established against Dallas one week earlier. Jackson will miss at least one more game (and quite possibly more), so McCloud's time as a starter hasn't yet come to an end.

Giants' Nick McCloud: No injury designation for Week 5

McCloud doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against the Packers in London.
McCloud missed three straight games after suffering a hamstring injury during the season opener, but he's in line to return in Week 5 after logging a full practice Friday. The second-year cornerback played exclusively on special teams during Week 1 before suffering the injury, so he'll likely garner a similar role against Green Bay.
