Cody Latimer will return for the Giants’ final games in 2018. The wide receiver will be activated for Week 16, allowing him to play him against the Colts and Cowboys, as Matt Lombardo of NJ.com writes. 
The Giants designated Latimer for return in late November, opening up a three-week window for activation. So far, he’s looked healthy on the practice field, and doctors have given him clearance to play again.
The Giants aren’t playing for much at this point, but this will be an opportunity for Latimer to play his way on to the 2019 roster. For now, he’s scheduled to reach unrestricted free agency in March after the expiration of his one-year, $2.5MM contract.
Latimer, 26, was enjoying an expanded role in the Giants’ offense against the Eagles on Oct. 11 before he went down with a hamstring injury. The wide receiver had six catches for 108 yards across four games before being sidelined.
The Giants will not have Latimer for Sunday’s game against the Titans and it remains to be seen whether they’ll have Odell Beckham Jr. for the contest. OBJ has been sidelined with a quad injury and did not practice on Wednesday morning.
Not playing for much? There’s a legitimate scenario where the Giants win out and sneak in as the 6 seed
They were eliminated with their loss last week, and the Eagles win. So, nothing to play for this season.
That’s what happens when you give 20 million to a yo-yo. We put 40 on the board without him. Why need him now?
So this article says they activated him for the final 2 games, yet in the next sentence they say he would play against the Colts, which means they activated him for the season finale against the Cowboys. Why bother?
