John Harbaugh said Dennard Wilson 'had a personal – a family situation to deal with today, so he was out today.'
Harbaugh added 'He will be back tomorrow, expected back tomorrow we should say.'
The comments were made during the Giants' Sept. 18 media availability at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center.
The team did not announce any interim defensive play-caller or staff reassignments.
The statement framed the absence as short-term and related to family, not health or disciplinary issues.
The timing—just before Monday Night Football—makes availability notable but not a confirmed long-term change.
