The Indianapolis Colts completed two deadline‑day trades—Keenan Allen to the 49ers and Josh Downs to the Chiefs—while running back Jonathan Taylor remained on the roster despite swirling trade gossip. Insider Josina Anderson posted a text showing the Colts "not interested in reality" about moving Taylor, and NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport notes Taylor hasn’t requested a trade. The New York Giants briefly offered a deal but withdrew, and other suitors failed to meet the Colts’ price. Taylor finishes the season in Indianapolis, with his offseason fate still uncertain.
The New York Giants miss out on a trade for Colts star running back Jonathan Taylor as Indianapolis demands a blockbuster offer, despite multiple teams offering a second‑round pick. Instead, the Giants protect their 2027 draft capital, having already traded a fourth‑rounder for receiver Malachi Fields and a fifth‑rounder for quarterback J.J. McCarthy. Backup back Cam Skattebo steps up, confirming he will play Thursday against the Washington Commanders after a hamstring injury, and vows to become "one of the most dangerous backs in the league," offering fans hope after the trade disappointment.
The New York Giants keep their backfield unchanged after the 2026 trade deadline, leaving Cam Skattebo as the RB1, veteran Devin Singletary as the primary backup, and Gregory Desrosiers in a limited role. A rumored acquisition of Colts star Jonathan Taylor fell apart due to a steep price, so he will not join the Giants this season. Coach John Harbaugh continues to prioritize the run, maintaining over 28 rushing attempts per game—ranking the team in the NFL’s top ten mid‑season.
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones told 105.3 The Fan on Nov. 10 that the franchise has hardly received trade offers for quarterback Dak Prescott, noting that for about two‑thirds of his contract and tenure he’s been essential to the team. With the Cowboys sitting 4‑5, second in the NFC East behind a 5‑2‑1 Giants, Jones said the lack of interest, combined with Prescott’s contract, makes a trade unlikely. He also highlighted confidence in the defense, praised DT Quinnen Williams, and warned edge rusher Rashan Gary after a costly play. Jones added that running‑back depth, especially after Tyler Goodson’s injury, will be addressed soon, likely via free agency.
Giants rookie QB J.J. McCarthy, who has steered New York to a 4-2-1 NFC East lead with a 20‑of‑28, 252‑yard performance in an overtime win over Houston and a 127‑yard, rushing‑TD effort against Philadelphia, suffered a hip pointer when Eagles linebacker Zack Baun hit him in the third quarter. He left the game, returned to convert a key third‑down run, and Jameis Winston filled in, throwing the team’s only touchdown pass. The Giants remain hopeful McCarthy will be cleared for Thursday’s 8:15 p.m. ET matchup with Washington, but final clearance hinges on late‑week medical evaluations.
During Sunday's game between the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants, Fox announcers Joe Davis and Greg Olsen were critical of Malik Nabers' body language, though some of those critiques were taken out of context following the game.
The Indianapolis Colts have decided not to trade star running back Jonathan Taylor before the NFL trade deadline on Tuesday at 4 p.m. EST, despite multiple offers—including a second‑round pick from the New York Giants. Sources say the team wants a blockbuster deal, perhaps a first‑rounder, to consider moving Taylor. He currently sits at 656 yards and eight touchdowns on 161 carries this season, though recent fumbles have limited his usage. With the trade off the table, the Colts are likely to increase his workload while integrating rookie Seth McGowan to manage mileage.
The article argues that the New York Giants should deploy linebacker Micah McFadden more strategically against quarterback Jayden Daniels, emphasizing his ability to cover escape lanes rather than just chase sacks. McFadden logged nine tackles, a sack and a fumble recovery in a recent game versus Philadelphia, and totaled 19 tackles with three TFLs in two starts filling in for Tremaine Edmunds. The author suggests keeping him at middle linebacker on neutral downs to guard the run and pocket exits, while using another defender on obvious passing situations. Recent visuals show McFadden’s aggressive play on special teams against the Saints.
New York Giants quarterback J.J. McCarthy made it clear on Tuesday that he will be able to play on Thursday night against the Washington Commanders after suffering a hip injury in Week 9.
The Washington Commanders (2-5-1) host the New York Giants (5-2-1) on Thursday Night Football, with the Giants eyeing the NFC East crown and a three‑game lead over Dallas. Bold predictions call for Giants QB JJ McCarthy to deliver two touchdown passes and WR Malik Nabers to exceed 75 yards and score, while Commanders QB Jayden Daniels is slated for 250+ total yards. The article revisits the Commanders’ overtime field‑goal mishap from earlier this season and notes key injuries and sack stats. The author forecasts a close 20‑17 Giants win.
In a pre‑game briefing ahead of Week 10, Commanders head coach Dan Quinn confirms veteran Nick Allegretti will start at center against the New York Giants, filling in while Lucas Patrick remains in concussion protocol. The team, sitting at 2‑5‑1, is battling chronic penalties, red‑zone inefficiency and a league‑worst 31% third‑down conversion rate. Quinn stresses defensive improvements and labels the Giants matchup a “must‑win” as the Commanders chase playoff relevance. Quarterback Jayden Daniels also discusses the growing pains of first‑time offensive coordinator David Blough and limited tight‑end production.
The NFL trade deadline tracker reveals a flurry of moves as the deadline approaches. Edge rusher Will McDonald IV demands a trade out of the Jets after losing his snap to Kingsley Enagbare and rookie Joseph Ossai. Colts quarterback Daniel Jones stays put despite rumors and a lost season. The Falcons ship All‑Pro safety Jessie Bates to Jacksonville for a 2027 second‑round and 2028 fifth‑round pick, with Atlanta covering most of his 2026 salary. Jacksonville also acquires DT Davon Godchaux from the Saints, a former Packers pre‑draft visitor. Meanwhile, the Lions add safety Andre Cisco from the Jets for a 2028 sixth‑rounder. Rumors swirl about Packers interest in running backs and defensive linemen, with the Giants, Vikings and Jaguars eyeing DT Moro Ojomo.
The latest NFL Week 10 power rankings from Blogging The Boys push the Dallas Cowboys up to No. 19 after a gritty win, despite the win feeling “ugly.” The Buffalo Bills sit atop the list, followed by the 49ers and Jaguars. The rankings shuffle familiar names—Chiefs drop to 14, Giants fall to 15—while the Cowboys, now 19th (last week 24th), eye a must‑win Week 17 showdown with New York that could decide a wild‑card race. Quarterback Dak Prescott emphasizes every remaining game is critical as the Cowboys chase an NFC East resurgence.
Former Indiana Hoosiers saw mixed action in Week 9 of the NFL. Raiders QB Fernando Mendoza remains a backup with just 48 passing yards, while TE Ian Thomas adds 5 catches and a TD after 11 snaps. Giants LB Micah McFadden records 9 tackles, a sack and a fumble recovery in a start. 49ers RB Kaelon Black rushes for 70 yards on 11 carries and returns a kick 31 yards. Vikings WR Myles Price logs 124 kick‑return yards and a 6‑yard reception. Chiefs OL Kahlil Benson starts at left tackle with 66 snaps, and Jets rookie WR Omar Cooper posts 8 catches for 58 yards. Several alumni—Riley Nowakowski, Kurtis Rourke, CJ West, and others—are on bye weeks or inactive, while a handful sit on practice squads.
The Giants head into Thursday Night Football against the Washington Commanders with both J.J. McCarthy and Cam Skattebo back in practice after recent injuries. McCarthy brushed off a hip issue that briefly sidelined him against the Eagles, while Skattebo, who missed the game with a hamstring strain, looks set to return after missing last season’s ankle injury. Their availability is a positive sign as New York aims to extend its NFC East lead following a road win at Philadelphia—the team’s first in the city since 2013. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET at MetLife Stadium.
Former Michigan Wolverines shined in Week 9. AJ Barner scored both Seattle Seahawks touchdowns—a one‑yard rush and a seven‑yard reception—in a 17‑3 win over Arizona, finishing with two catches and three carries. Derrick Moore recorded his first two NFL sacks as a starter for Detroit in a 19‑9 victory against Miami. Dominic Zvada was perfect on the field, nailing all four of his Giants’ field‑goal attempts, including a 53‑yard bomb, in a 19‑11 win over Philadelphia. Elsewhere, Blake Corum and Nico Collins added rushing and receiving touchdowns for the Rams and Texans, while several other ex‑Wolverines contributed across the league.
Dominic Zvada sparked the Giants’ 12‑point, eight‑point win over the Eagles on Nov. 8, converting all four attempts—including a 53‑yard field goal—to reach six kicks of 50+ yards this season, outpacing every other Giants rookie combined. While his 6‑for‑9 success from 50‑59 yards shows real range, the article warns that long kicks aren’t guaranteed points and advises using punts when conditions are unfavorable. Coach’s strategy should favor field goals only when they decisively affect the scoreboard, otherwise opting for pinning opponents deep or keeping the offense on the field.
Quarterback Jayden Daniels cautions that offensive coordinator David Blough’s first‑year growing pains are hindering Washington’s turnaround. Daniels tells X that the offense isn’t “perfect” yet, highlighting consistency issues that have left the Commanders 21st in scoring and 20th in total yards at 2‑5‑1. Injuries compound the woes as the team prepares for a crucial Thursday night rematch with the New York Giants. With the NFC East race tightening, Washington must boost production now or risk missing the playoffs.
With the Commanders sitting at 2‑5‑1 after eight games and reeling from a narrow loss to the Rams, Thursday night becomes a must‑win for Washington. A victory over division‑leading Giants would give them the tie‑breaker and keep playoff hopes alive; a loss would sink them five games behind in the NFC East with only eight weeks left. SB Nation’s latest fan survey asks supporters to pick the winner and gauge confidence in the team’s direction.
The Washington Commanders travel to MetLife Stadium Thursday night to take on division-leading New York Giants (5-2-1) in a pivotal NFC East showdown. The Giants, fresh off a 19-11 win over Philadelphia, rely on QB Jameis Winston (1,028 yards, 8 TDs, 5 INTs) and top receiver Malik Nabers (53 catches, 648 yards). Washington, at 2-5-1, leans on dual‑threat QB Jayden Daniels (1,250 passing yards, 7 TDs; 252 rushing yards, 2 TDs) and WR Stefon Diggs (30 catches, 303 yards, 5 TDs). The Commanders hold a +7 turnover margin, while the Giants have committed 12 turnovers. Key injuries include WR Treylon Burks (out) and several Giants receivers and linebackers listed as questionable. The 8:15 p.m. ET game could reshape the East race.
For Week 10 fantasy managers, the tight end streamers to start are Tyler Higbee (Rams at Cardinals), Chig Okonkwo (Commanders at Giants) and A.J. Barner (Seahawks at Raiders), each showing high snap and route shares and favorable matchups. Conversely, Mike Gesicki (Bengals vs. Steelers), Greg Dulcich (Dolphins at Colts) and Darren Waller (Panthers at Saints) are sit‑em candidates due to declining targets, inconsistent usage or limited upside. The guide emphasizes volume, route share and opponent TE defense over name recognition.
Thursday Night Football pits the Washington Commanders against NFC East leaders the New York Giants, and fantasy managers get clear start‑and‑sit advice for Week 10. Start Giants RB Cam Skattebo, returning from a hamstring issue after a 117‑yard, TD game versus Houston, and WR Malik Nabers, who can exploit Washington’s weak pass defense. Keep Commanders QB Jayden Daniels in your lineup for his dual‑threat upside. Bench Giants WR Stefon Diggs for a lower ceiling, Giants QB J.J. McCarthy due to inconsistency and a hip injury, and Commanders RB Rachaad White, whose production remains uneven. These picks aim to maximize points in a high‑stakes divisional clash.
The Madden 27 Week 10 roster update drops on Thursday, November 12, 2026—just before Thursday Night Football, when the New York Giants host the Washington Commanders. The update refreshes player rosters to reflect trades, free‑agent moves, injuries, and other changes, but it does not alter gameplay. The article also previews Week 10 NFL action, highlighting the Giants‑Commanders clash, Patriots‑Lions game in Munich, and key divisional battles across the league, including Steelers‑Bengals and Rams‑Cardinals. It reminds players how to install the update and points to additional Madden guides for further help.
Denver Broncos tight end Evan Engram is attracting trade interest, but the team hesitates to move him without a viable replacement. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports the Broncos even queried the Arizona Cardinals about TE Trey McBride, only to be turned down. Engram, a 2017 first‑round pick, is in the final year of his two‑year, $23 million deal after stints with the Giants and Jaguars. In 2026 he has logged 17 receptions for 169 yards and a touchdown in nine games. The trade deadline could bring further developments.
The Giants are weighing a cautious return for running back Cam Skattebo ahead of Thursday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles. After sitting him out in Week 10 to protect his hamstring, coach John Harbaugh notes the injury report lists Skattebo as limited, not fully cleared. In his last two outings he posted 59 yards on 13 carries versus Washington and 124 yards on 17 carries against Houston, showing he can be effective without a heavy workload. The article suggests using him in early series and short‑yardage situations while keeping Devin Singletary involved, rather than overloading Skattebo on Thursday.
