In Week 9, the Eagles host the Giants at Lincoln Financial Field, with both teams donning retro uniforms—Philadelphia’s 1990s‑era Kelly Green and New York’s 1980s‑90s Vintage White. The Giants enter the game 4‑2‑1, while the Eagles sit at 2‑6 after a winless streak since Week 2. Saquon Barkley, a former Giant (2018‑23), scores the opening touchdown for Philadelphia, sparking talk. FOX highlights the theme with a custom scorebug that references the throwback kits, as shown in a screenshot shared on X. The broadcast team of Joe Davis and Greg Olsen calls the game, promising a nostalgic NFC East showdown.
The New York Giants have withdrawn their trade offer for All‑Pro running back Jonathan Taylor as the NFL’s Nov. 10 deadline looms. The Giants had proposed a second‑round pick and a fifth‑rounder, but Insider Jay Glazer says the deal is now off the table unless Indianapolis lowers its price. The Colts, who still hold Taylor through 2028 and lack a 2027 first‑round pick, reportedly seek a higher return—similar to the package they received for Christian McCaffrey, potentially a first‑rounder plus additional picks. With negotiations stalled, the Giants appear unwilling to wait.
Giants senior VP Chris Mara reveals the team originally passed on J.J. McCarthy in the 2024 draft, opting for Malik Nabers, because of concerns about the Michigan QB’s maturity despite his high skill rating. After acquiring McCarthy from Minnesota in September 2026 for a 2027 fifth‑round pick, Mara says the quarterback has transformed—showing improved arm strength, mobility and off‑field maturity. McCarthy, who missed his rookie year with a knee injury and posted a 11‑TD/12‑INT line in 2025, recently sparked an overtime upset over Houston and now faces Philadelphia, renewing Giants optimism.
The New York Giants’ bid for Colts star running back Jonathan Taylor falls short, insiders say. The Giants offered a second‑round pick plus extra compensation, but Indianapolis insists on a premium package before parting with the 8,208‑yard rusher who has 84 touchdowns in 92 games. With Taylor’s contract extending several more years, the Colts aren’t in a hurry and may revisit trade talks in the offseason when more suitors appear.
Former Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson fails to secure the head‑coaching vacancy at his alma mater NC State, losing out to former Wolfpack signal‑caller Philip Rivers. Wilson, who retired from the NFL in June after a 2024 season with Pittsburgh (2,482 yards, 16 TDs, 10th Pro Bowl), had previously played for the Seahawks, Broncos and Giants. He now works as a CBS Sports analyst. NC State, fresh off the dismissal of Dave Doeren, aims to bring Rivers back to Raleigh.
The latest update on why Cam Skattebo is not playing in the New York Giants' Week 9 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.
The New York Giants travel to Lincoln Financial Field Sunday, Nov. 8, for a 1:00 PM ET NFC East showdown against the Philadelphia Eagles on FOX (stream on Fubo). The Giants sit 4‑2‑1 under first‑year coach John Harbaugh after a 27‑21 OT win over Houston, with QB J.J. McCarthy and WR Malik Nabers leading the offense, though RB Cam Skattebo is doubtful with a hamstring. The Eagles slump to 2‑6 after six straight losses; rookie QB Joe Milton makes his first start, while WRs DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks are out. Saquon Barkley returns to face his former team, hoping to spark Philadelphia’s revival.
The Philadelphia Eagles host NFC East divisional rival, the New York Giants. A battle between two teams that are heading in different directions.
The New York Giants reportedly offered the Indianapolis Colts second- and fifth-round picks for RB Jonathan Taylor, but the deal has now been withdrawn. The Colts, still rebuffing multiple offers after trading away players like Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner, are demanding a package comparable to a Christian McCaffrey deal or a first‑round equivalent. With the NFL trade deadline looming on Nov. 10, the Giants’ change of heart leaves uncertainty over whether they’ll return with a lower offer, while the Colts remain undecided amid a disappointing 2026 season that fell short of its 2025 Super Bowl hopes.
NFL Insider Jordan Schultz says the Indianapolis Colts are likely to retain star running back Jonathan Taylor through the trade deadline, as no team has met their hefty price tag. Only the New York Giants have offered a second‑round pick plus extra compensation, falling short of the Colts' demand for a ‘Christian McCaffrey‑esque’ haul or a future first‑rounder. Taylor, 27, has logged 148 carries for 610 yards (4.1 YPC) and eight touchdowns in eight starts this season. Owner Carlie Irsay‑Gordon views him as a rebuild cornerstone, so unless a “king’s ransom” materializes, he stays, though his workload may be eased ahead of the Cowboys game.
The New York Giants lose running back Cam Skattebo to a hamstring injury for Week 9 against the Philadelphia Eagles, as announced by ESPN’s Jordan Raanan. Listed as doubtful and absent from Friday’s practice, Skattebo will not suit up Sunday, leaving Devin Singletary to take the bulk of snaps. The Giants, still seeking backfield help, previously offered the Colts a 2nd‑ and 5th‑round pick for Jonathan Taylor, though the deal was withdrawn ahead of the trade deadline.
The Bleeding Green Nation preview predicts a tough Week 9 showdown as the Giants aim to end their 13‑year winless streak in Philadelphia. With backup QB Joe Milton finally starting for the Eagles, the article questions whether he'll spark the offense, while Giants coach John Harbaugh looks to ignite his team after a bye. The writer forecasts a 28‑7 Giants victory and even bolds that Milton will throw a TD on the opening play, inviting fans to submit their own predictions.
The article advises the New York Giants to keep rookie QB J.J. McCarthy aggressive heading into the upcoming game against the Philadelphia Eagles. After a strong overtime win over the Houston Texans—20 of 28 completions for 252 yards and no interceptions—and a solid but mixed performance vs. New Orleans, the writer suggests mixing downfield shots to Isaiah Likely and the backs while maintaining a balanced run game. With receiver Cam Skattebo doubtful and Malik Nabers back in practice, the plan should give McCarthy quick, safe reads against Philadelphia’s varied pass rush rather than a overly conservative approach.
The New York Giants' offer of a second‑round pick and a 2028 fifth‑rounder for RB Jonathan Taylor has been withdrawn, and the Indianapolis Colts are expected to retain him through the trade deadline. Sources say the Colts will revisit a deal in the offseason, targeting a first‑round pick or a package similar to the 49ers' McCaffrey trade (second‑, third‑, fourth‑, and fifth‑round picks). Taylor, 27, is entering the final year of his recent two‑year, $44 million extension, having logged 610 rushing yards, 8 touchdowns, and 202 receiving yards in eight games this season. The article will update as the deadline approaches.
The Philadelphia Eagles release their Week 9 inactives ahead of the matchup with the New York Giants. Wide receivers DeVonta Smith, Dontayvion Wicks and Britain Covey join Michael Carter II and CB Jonathan Jones on the injury list, leaving four active receivers: Darius Cooper, Makai Lemon, Hollywood Brown and Elijah Moore. LB Jihaad Campbell is out, prompting Jeremiah Trotter Jr. to start at off‑ball linebacker beside Zack Baun. Backup QB Tanner McKee remains active despite a rib issue, and the team elevates Elijah Mitchell (third elevation) and Cole Wisniewski (final elevation) from the practice squad. The Giants also report several inactives, including lead rusher Cam Skattebo.
The Minnesota Vikings add former Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr. to their 53-man roster ahead of Monday Night Football against the Buffalo Bills. Beckham, who logged 70 snaps with just one target for the Giants in September, is poised to step in for injured WR Jauan Jennings, while Carson Wentz (with Kyler Murray sidelined) leads the passing attack. The Vikings, currently 6‑1 and atop the NFC North, aim to rebound from a loss to Detroit and secure a playoff spot. The Bills also sit at 6‑1, setting up a pivotal showdown on Nov. 9 at 8:15 ET.
The Philadelphia Eagles name newcomer Joe Milton the starter for Week 9 against the Giants, pushing Tanner McKee to the backup role despite his recent cracked rib. Coach Nick Sirianni hinted the move reflects team needs more than McKee’s three‑week performance, praising his professionalism. The depth chart now lists Milton as QB1, McKee as QB2 (questionable), and rookie Cole Payton as the third option, who could rise if McKee remains sidelined. The shift underscores the Eagles’ ongoing quarterback struggles and the push to develop future talent.
The New York Giants’ bid to acquire Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor collapses as their 2nd‑ and 5th‑round pick offer is withdrawn. ESPN’s Adam Schefter says the Colts have been quiet, weighing whether to trade their top young talent before the trade deadline. Insider Tom Pelissero reports the Colts previously rejected a 2027 second‑rounder and other offers, indicating Taylor will likely stay in Indianapolis. With the deadline looming, no team has matched the premium the Colts expect, leaving the Giants’ pursuit in limbo.
The Minnesota Vikings have elevated wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. to their 53-man roster, according to NFL insider Tom Pelissero. The 33‑year‑old, a former No. 12 overall pick in 2014, has bounced around the league—traded from the Giants to the Browns in 2019, brief stints with the Rams, Ravens, Dolphins, and a short return to New York—before landing on the Vikings practice squad. In 2026 he has played three games for the Giants, seeing only one target. The move gives the Vikings a veteran talent with a $1.3 million one‑year deal, adding depth to their receiving corps.
The New York Giants have reportedly backed away from a Jonathan Taylor deal as the Indianapolis Colts’ asking price proves too steep. Insider Josina Anderson says the Giants cooled on the trade, which reportedly demands a first‑round pick plus a high second‑rounder and multiple later selections. Taylor, who has posted 610 rushing yards, eight touchdowns and 21 catches for 202 yards in eight games this season, would fit head coach Brian Harbaugh’s physical, downhill offense, but the price barrier may keep him in Indy.
Jonathan Taylor is slated to start for the Indianapolis Colts against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 9 on Sunday, November 10, 2026, despite swirling trade rumors ahead of the NFL trade deadline. The Colts plan to keep their leading rusher on the field, where he enters the game with eight rushing touchdowns and a favorable matchup against a Cowboys run defense that has struggled against inside rushes. While a trade could be announced after the game, coaches are unlikely to limit his snaps, aiming to showcase his health and value to potential suitors such as the Giants, Vikings, and Broncos.
The New York Giants appear to have stepped back from pursuing Colts running back Jonathan Taylor, citing an overly steep price. Sources say the team is focused on adding a defensive tackle and is unwilling to match Indianapolis’ asking price of a first‑round pick or a package similar to the 49ers’ McCaffrey deal. The Giants reportedly offered a second‑rounder and a 2028 fifth‑round pick, which wasn’t enough. Taylor, 27, is entering the final year of his contract after a recent two‑year, $44 million extension and has logged 610 rushing yards and eight touchdowns in eight games this season. The Colts are likely to keep him for now and may revisit trade talks in the offseason.
The New York Giants have promoted practice‑squad wideout Jalin Hyatt to the active roster ahead of their Thursday night matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles. Hyatt, who logged 23 catches for 373 yards as a rookie in 2023, has seen his production dip to five receptions in eight games last season and went unrewarded in his recent appearance against Houston. Coach Darrell Bevell is likely to use him in a limited vertical package or on special teams, especially with veteran receiver Charlie Jones listed as questionable. The move adds depth but does not guarantee Hyatt a significant offensive role.
J.J. McCarthy looks "completely different" to New York Giants senior vice president of player personnel Chris Mara than he did when the NFC East team decided not to select him with the No. 6 overall pick of the 2024 NFL draft.
The Philadelphia Eagles name Tanner McKee as the backup to rookie QB Joe Milton for Sunday’s Week 9 game against the 4‑2‑1 New York Giants, despite McKee’s cracked rib from last week’s 27‑10 loss to Washington. McKee, 26, finished that game with 212 yards, one interception and a fumble, and remains questionable after limited practice. Milton, acquired from Dallas on Oct. 16, replaces McKee after three straight defeats that left the Eagles 2‑6 and last in the NFC East. Rookie Cole Payton is the only other quarterback on the roster.
