The New York Giants are getting reinforcements in their secondary ahead of their Week 7 road matchup against the Houston Texans, with cornerback Paulson Adebo set to return from injured reserve. ESPN’s Jordan Raanan reported Saturday on X, formerly known as Twitter, that New York will activate Adebo later in the day. “Paulson Adebo will […]

The New York Giants, sitting atop the NFC East at 3-2-1 ahead of Week 7, are intensifying trade talks for Indianapolis Colts star running back Jonathan Taylor as they seek RB depth after cutting veteran Najee Harris. Sources say the Colts will assess the market before the Nov. 10 deadline, with no player officially off‑limits, but they have not yet opened formal discussions. Analysts suggest a deal could materialize only in the final weeks of the trade window, keeping Giants fans watching for a potential late‑season acquisition.
The New York Giants have lost linebacker Tremaine Edmunds for the rest of the season after a shoulder injury and a torn chest muscle forced him out, according to The Athletic and ESPN. Edmunds, who posted 50 tackles and two sacks in six games, was a key defensive snap‑caller and mentor to rookie Arvell Reese. Micah McFadden moves into the middle‑linebacker role, testing the Giants' claim of three starting‑caliber inside linebackers ahead of a matchup with the Houston Texans on Oct. 24. The team sits at 3‑2‑1 with a bye the following week, giving coaches a chance to reshuffle the defense.
Giants head coach John Harbaugh explains the Week 7 release of veteran RB Najee Harris, saying the move was about roster math and giving the remaining backs a clear runway rather than performance. After six weeks, the backfield shrinks from four to a three‑man rotation—Cam Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy Jr., and Devin Singletary—to support new starter J.J. McCarthy and simplify offensive schemes ahead of the Houston Texans game.
The New York Giants lose their top tackler as linebacker Tremaine Edmunds is sidelined for the season with a shoulder injury, according to Dan Duggan of The Athletic. Edmunds led the team with 50 tackles and tied for most sacks (two) after signing a three‑year, $36 million deal. His departure hits an already sputtering run defense that has allowed 500 rushing yards in the past three weeks and sits 29th in the league. The Giants also will miss cornerback Greg Newsome II (concussion) against the Houston Texans, making them even bigger underdogs.
The Saints head to Paris for a crucial showdown with the Steelers after a must‑win victory over the Giants. New Orleans’ pass protection, which has yielded just one sack from four top rushers, now faces T.J. Watt’s 4.5‑sack season and a Steelers front seven that blitzes only 26% of the time, making quarterback Tyler Shough’s stay upright vital. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh’s 14th‑ranked run defense has limited backs like Bucky Irving to 2.3 yards per carry, a stark test for a Saints rushing attack that posted 175 yards against the Giants, highlighted by Kendre Miller’s 70 yards. Defensively, New Orleans must contain Aaron Rodgers, who’s delivering three‑plus‑TD games despite four recent interceptions, to secure a third win.
The Steelers face the Saints Sunday at 9:30 a.m. EST in Paris, with FanDuel listing Pittsburgh as 3‑point favorites (-168) and a 44.5 total. The preview highlights three value props: Jaylen Warren anytime TD at -120, Aaron Rodgers over 0.5 rushing yards at -140, and rookie Germie Bernard over 53.5 receiving yards at -114. All three combine for a +475 parlay. The article also notes the Saints’ weak run defense and key Steelers injuries, making the matchup a prime betting opportunity.
Two NFC teams have emerged as potential trade partners.
The Texans aim to stretch their two‑game winning streak against the Giants on Oct. 23, but key injuries loom. DB Jalen Pitre, RG Reed Blankenship, RB David Montgomery and OT Blake Fisher are out, while WR Tank Dell—absent for nearly two years—looks to return as a questionable. Other starters see limited issues, and the team will rely on Woody Marks to fill Montgomery’s void. Despite missing defensive starters, Houston remains the favorite and hopes to clinch a third straight win at home.
The Giants may finally test second‑year tight end Thomas Fidone II after injuries sideline Chris Manhertz (calf) and limit Theo Johnson (neck). Though listed with a shoulder issue, Fidone practiced fully Thursday, putting him ahead of the two injured players on the depth chart. Fidone has no NFL catches in two seasons, but posted 61 receptions for 633 yards at Nebraska, prompting the author to suggest a limited, defined receiving role rather than a full workload. A small package could give New York a useful option for J.J. McCarthy without jeopardizing blocking duties, but no snap count changes have been announced yet.
The New York Giants head into Week 7 with a 3‑2‑1 record and face the Houston Texans on Sunday, but a slew of injuries clouds their chances. Starting quarterback J.J. McCarthy replaces Jaxson Dart, who is on IR after a knee injury in Week 2, while veteran Jameis Winston is out. Key defensive losses include Brian Burns (torn ACL), Tremaine Edmunds (season‑ending chest/shoulder tear), Paulson Adebo (knee) and Chauncey Golston (neck). Offensive tackles Andrew Thomas and Jermaine Eluemunor return limited, but are questionable, as is tight end Theo Johnson (neck). Cornerback Greg Newsome II is out with a concussion, while Jevón Holland is questionable. The Giants hope returning players Adebo, Deonte Banks and Colton Hood can bolster a battered secondary.
Commanders Commanders HC Dan Quinn said that OC David Blough has done a good job running the offense and making sure the team takes care of the football but he would like to see a more explosive offense. “A couple things that I like and a couple things that, as we’re heading into this bye, […]

Giants head coach John Harbaugh says running back Cam Skattebo had a "heck of a week of practice" and remains a key part of the offense as New York prepares for Week 7 at Houston. After a zero‑carry, fumble‑laden outing in a 34‑27 loss to New Orleans, Skattebo hopes to earn a primary role alongside Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary, especially with Najee Harris released and rookie QB J.J. McCarthy making his first start. Harbaugh emphasizes the need for ball security and a strong ground game against the Texans' defense.
Texas quarterback Arch Manning has drawn a unique comparison as he navigates through his 2026 campaign with the Longhorns.
The New York Giants report rookie cornerback Colton Hood as a full participant in Thursday practice, a boost for a secondary still hit by injuries. Hood, who suffered a concussion on Wednesday, moves ahead of veteran Greg Newsome II on the depth chart, though he isn’t yet cleared to play against the Texans. Meanwhile, teammate Paulson Adebo returns from IR but remains limited with a knee issue, and the team awaits final injury reports before confirming the Sunday lineup. The Giants also face a refreshed Houston offense with WR Tank Dell slated to return, adding further challenges for the still‑recovering secondary.
The New York Giants committed $23.7 million guaranteed to veteran linebacker Tremaine Edmunds, in an attempt to address their persisting struggles on run defense. The first of their three-year investment will not yield the return they hoped. He will miss the remainder of the 2026 campaign with a shoulder injury, per The Athletic’s Dan Duggan. […]

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo warns his job is on the line after a costly overtime fumble against Washington and a fourth turnover in five games. Following a benching in Week 6 and the recent release of Najee Harris, Skatteco says the Giants are sending a clear message: poor performance could lead to his cut. Head coach John Harbaugh, who expects a larger role for Skattebo, notes the team can’t carry four backs, leaving the depth chart with only Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary alongside him. With the Giants’ backfield in flux, Skattebo’s future hinges on immediate improvement.
Running back Cam Skattebo warns he could be the next New York Giants cut after a costly overtime fumble in Week 6 against Washington and a virtual benching by coach John Harbaugh. The Giants’ RB room is in turmoil: Najee Harris was released on Oct. 23, trade chatter surrounds Jonathan Taylor, and no clear RB1 has emerged. Skattebo, a former Arizona State star, says he must stop turnovers before the upcoming game versus the Houston Texans, acknowledging the team's "no‑one’s safe" stance. While the Giants haven’t announced his release yet, the message is clear—performance or the roster move comes.
The Giants face a depth‑chart dilemma after linebacker Tremaine Edmunds skips a second practice with a shoulder injury ahead of the Week 7 matchup. While the team lists Micah McFadden as his backup, the article argues that simply promoting Arvell Reese would ignore the specific duties Edmunds handles at middle linebacker. With Edmunds having started six games (50 tackles, 2 sacks), the Giants must decide a clear replacement and adjust responsibilities, especially as cornerback Greg Newsome II sits with a concussion and safety Jevon Holland returns limited. The piece urges a thoughtful plan rather than assuming Edmunds will play.
With star edge Brian Burns on the injured list and Kayvon Thibodeaux stuck on an underperforming fifth‑year option, the New York Giants’ pass rush now hinges on second‑year linebacker Abdul Carter. The No. 3 overall pick of the 2025 draft signed a four‑year, $45.2 million rookie deal and posted 43 tackles, 4 sacks and seven TFLs as a rookie. This season he’s already racked up 2 sacks and 21 pressures, ranking 16th league‑wide, making him the most disruptive player on the line despite his modest contract. The article argues the Giants’ high‑priced edges aren’t delivering, leaving Carter as the cheap yet essential weapon in a defense that needs his burst now.
