There is no record with or without Eubanks yet.
What to watch

His next appearance on the injury report will show whether the thumb has cleared or the day-to-day tag continues. Teammates N'Faly Dante (right knee, out) and Mohamed Diawara (finger, day-to-day) also appear on Monday's report as New York finalizes its roster in training camp.
