Ravens kicker Justin Tucker has sparked concern among NFL fans ahead of Baltimore's return to action again the Giants.
Tucker has endured the worst season of his career, missing eight field goals and two extra points, across the Ravens' first 13 games of the season.
He missed three crucial kicks against the Eagles earlier this month, which proved costly as Baltimore fell to a 24-19 loss.
The Ravens return this weekend after their bye week, in their first game since that heartbreak against Philadelphia.
The Ravens are 8-5 heading into Sunday's trip to MetLife and Tucker told reporters that he is 'ready to go'.
'It was good to get back in here first thing this morning and see all the guys - I was here all week for the most part, anyways, in and out of the building,' the 35-year-old said.

'But it's good to come back in, see everybody, get into the meeting room, get out on to the practice field and get right back to work.'
But many fans expressed fears for the kicker's health after a clip of the interview appeared online.
'Damn he looks terrible. Prioritize your sleep bro,' one said on X, formerly Twitter.
'Is it just the lighting or does tuckers skin look yellow and around just eyes purple?' another asked. 'Either he is beyond stressed and exhausted or could he be sick?'
A third echoed those sentiments, writing on social media: 'JT looks in rough shape man honestly hope he’s alright'
'Look like he ain’t slept in a month,' a fourth said.
