The Giants’ receiving corps is hurting entering the season finale against Washington.

Rueben Randle (knee) missed his second consecutive practice on Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday on the injury report.

The Giants are already without Victor Cruz, who’s out with a knee injury.

If Randle were unable to play, Hakeem Nicks and Jerrel Jernigan will be the clear top targets at wideout for Eli Manning, with reserve Louis Murphy perhaps also getting more opportunities.

The 23-year-old Randle leads the Giants in TD catches (six). The 2012 second-round pick has shown quite a bit of potential at times, but the more game reps he can get, the better.

Overall, the Giants have 13 players on the injury report. Five players have been ruled out, including Cruz and defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul (shoulder). Six players are probable, with tailback Andre Brown (concussion) and guard David Diehl (knee) among those with that designation.
