Cam Whitmore Is Healthy and Making His Case With the Nuggets
After overcoming a life‑threatening blood clot diagnosed in December 2025, 22‑year‑old forward Cam Whitmore lands a two‑way contract with the Denver Nuggets. The former 20th‑overall pick, who posted 12.3 PPG in his rookie season with Houston, showed his explosiveness in preseason, scoring 14 points in 15 minutes against Utah and 17 against the Clippers. Nuggets coach David Adelman believes Whitmore’s rim‑raiding, free‑throw ability and scoring off the bench could revive his stalled NBA career, though he remains a developmental project. Denver will decide by season’s end whether to convert his deal to a standard roster spot.

Texans tie game late to force overtime only to lose against Giants

Houston managed just 237 total yards, with a Marvin Harrison Jr. touchdown pass and an Xavier Hutchinson rush accounting for its only scores, while the Giants amassed 420 yards and 27 points.

Texans Superstar RB Left Game After Getting Bent In Horrific Fashion, And It’s Hard To Watch [VIDEO]
Houston Texans running back Woody Marks exits the October 25 game against the New York Giants after a jarring knee injury from a twisted tackle. With David Montgomery already sidelined, Marks had stepped into the RB1 role, but a pretzel‑like twist on a play—later ruled a non‑fumble—forced him to limp to the medical tent before rejoining the game. The Texans, coming off two wins and ranking in the league’s bottom ten for rushing yards, hoped to extend their streak versus New York, making the injury a major setback.

Cam Skattebo redeemed himself for the New York Giants on Oct. 25, 2026, delivering a dramatic overtime 42‑yard touchdown run against the Houston Texans that clinched the win. After a shaky start to the season, including a costly fumble versus Washington and limited snaps against the New Orleans Saints, Skattebo responded with a powerful surge that left defenders in his wake, even finishing with a signature backflip celebration.

Giants lose Jevon Holland after a brutal week on defense
The New York Giants announce safety Jevon Holland (8) is out for the upcoming game against Houston, remaining in concussion protocol after a rough week that also saw Greg Newsome II sidelined and linebacker Tremaine Edmunds placed on injured reserve. Holland, who has recorded three interceptions, two forced fumbles and 30 tackles in six games, was downgraded from questionable to out on Saturday. The team activates cornerback Paulson Adebo and elevates safety Raheem Layne, but the defense will have to adjust without its veteran safety heading into the Texans matchup and subsequent bye week.

The Houston Texans snapped a slow start against the New York Giants on Oct. 25, 2026, clinching a 14-6 lead before halftime thanks to Marvin Harrison Jr.'s first touchdown since his trade from Arizona.
