Mike Florian of Pro Football Talk argues the Chicago Bears overpaid for All‑Pro defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons, sending two first‑round picks and a fourth‑rounder to the Tennessee Titans. Simmons, a four‑time Pro Bowler, debuted with six tackles, a sack and a pass breakup, and is under contract through 2030. The trade was facilitated by a personal connection between Bears GM Ryan Poles and Titans GM Mike Borgonzi, despite interest from the New York Giants. Florian believes the Titans could have secured a better return, but the Bears remain confident Simmons bolsters their Super Bowl push.
The Giants face the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday after a 27-21 win over Houston, but running back Cam Skattebo’s status is uncertain. Skattebo missed Friday’s practice and is listed as doubtful on the injury report, though coach John Harbaugh stops short of ruling him out. The back has 418 yards and two touchdowns this season, but with Tyron Tracy Jr. on IR, Devin Singletary is expected to lead the rush, backed by Greg Desrosiers and Phil Mafah. If Skattebo can’t play Sunday, his next opportunity arrives on Nov. 12 against Washington.
With the NFL trade deadline looming on Nov. 10, The Game Haus highlights seven defensive players likely to move. Cornerback Riq Woolen (Eagles) could land with the Lions or Bears, while pass rusher Josh Sweat (Cardinals) draws interest from the Giants and Jaguars. Veteran safety Budda Baker (Cardinals) may be offloaded to the Cowboys or 49ers, and Khalil Mack (Chargers) could reunite with Chicago, suiting the 49ers or Bears. Dolphins’ edge rusher Josh Uche fits the Chiefs or Giants, and Saints safety Justin Reid is a potential Bills or Jaguars pickup. Each prospect is tied to expiring contracts or teams looking to rebuild.
With the NFL trade deadline looming on Nov. 10, The Game Haus outlines offensive players likely to move. Veteran RB Jonathan Taylor (Colts) could be a rebuild-friendly upgrade for the Broncos or Vikings, while Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. remains a buy‑low option for the Chiefs or 49ers. TE Dallas Goedert (Eagles) may be sold as a free agent, attracting interest from the Buccaneers or Seahawks. Colts WR Josh Downs, who publicly requested a trade, fits the Bills or Giants. OT Austin Jackson (Dolphins) and Browns’ Dawand Jones—both on expiring or cheap contracts—are potential targets for the Packers, Bengals, Texans or Panthers. The piece spotlights each player’s contract situation, performance, and best‑fit teams ahead of the deadline.
The Philadelphia Eagles receive an encouraging Saquon Barkley update as they prepare for their Week 9 showdown with the New York Giants.
The Eagles release their final Week 9 injury report ahead of the clash with the New York Giants. Six players are listed OUT, including WRs DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks, leaving only four receivers—Darius Cooper, Makai Lemon, Hollywood Brown, and Elijah Moore—on the active roster. LB Jihaad Campbell (hamstring/quad) and safety Michael Carter II (abdomen) also miss the game, as does CB Jonathan Jones (hamstring). QB Tanner McKee is QUESTIONABLE after a rib injury; he may serve as an emergency third‑string behind starter Joe Milton and backup Cole Payton.

Both the New York Giants and Eagles will wear throwback uniforms for their 1:00 p.m. ET Week 9 tilt at Lincoln Financial Field Sunday:
The Philadelphia Eagles announce six players will miss Week 9 against the Giants: WRs DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks, LB Jihaad Campbell, CB Jonathan Jones, WR Britain Covey, and DB Michael Carter. Smith’s hamstring injury keeps him out for a fifth game this season after his last appearance in Week 6, while Wicks misses his second straight contest, denting the Eagles’ passing attack and opening opportunities for rookie Makai Lemon. Smith, a former Heisman winner and 2021 No. 10 pick, has recorded 26 catches for 310 yards and two TDs in four games this year. The injury list was posted on the team's official Twitter account on November 6, 2026.
The Indianapolis Colts, sitting 2-6, may field a surprise NFC suitor for All-Pro running back Jonathan Taylor as the NFL trade deadline looms. ESPN’s Adam Schefter revealed an unnamed “mystery team” has reached out, noting he’s hearing team names he’s never heard before. While the Broncos, Giants, Seahawks and Vikings have been linked, speculation now points to the San Francisco 49ers, fresh off their 2022 Christian McCaffrey trade and with a history of acquiring Indy players like DeForest Buckner. A move could see Taylor join McCaffrey in Shanahan’s backfield, creating a potent duo. The trade remains unconfirmed, but it could reshape the Colts’ rebuild and boost a playoff contender.
The Philadelphia Eagles, now 2-6 after a loss to the Washington Commanders, have endured six straight defeats and a quarterback crisis following Jalen Hurts' season-ending blood clots. Coach Nick Sirianni initially backed sixth‑round pick Tanner McKee as the starter, then switched to Joe Milton for the Giants game, later admitting he deliberately misled the media to keep the change secret and limit opponents' preparation. Sirianni explained the delay was to protect the team, highlighting his pattern of evasiveness about roster moves and Hurts' diagnosis.
The Eagles head into Week 9 against a revitalized New York Giants squad led by second‑year quarterback J.J. McCarthy. Philadelphia sits on a six‑game losing streak, ranking near the bottom in offense (265.3 yards per game) and run defense (131.9 yards per game). The Giants, eyeing their first playoff berth since 2022, will rely on McCarthy and top receiver Malik Nabers (605 yards, 48 catches). Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio praises the Giants’ offensive mix, but warns Nabers is "double tough." A loss would extend Philadelphia’s skid to seven and keep the Giants’ 13‑game winless streak at Lincoln Financial Field alive.
The New York Giants are eyeing Miami Dolphins defensive tackle Zach Sieler as a potential upgrade for their interior line before the Nov. 10 trade deadline. Sieler, a two‑sack player through seven games and under a multiyear 2025 extension, could offer a reliable, multi‑year solution, but Miami has rebuffed interest, and a recent shoulder issue may require a medical review. With Darius Alexander nursing a foot injury, the Giants must weigh Sieler’s cost against cheaper alternatives or sticking with their current rotation.
The Seattle Seahawks mourn the death of former running back Dan Doornink, who died at 70. Drafted by the Giants in 1978, Doornink spent five seasons in Seattle (1979‑84), highlighted by a 123‑yard performance in the 1984 playoff win over the Los Angeles Raiders. Known as “Dr. Dan” for his medical degree from the University of Washington, he was also a Washington State Hall of Famer and an internal‑medicine doctor. Tributes from the Seahawks, Washington State officials, and fans emphasize his impact on the field and his community service.
The New York Giants, sitting 4-2-1 atop the NFC East in Week 9, are eyeing a trade to boost their backfield before the Nov. 10 deadline. While a Jonathan Taylor deal from the Colts could cost a first‑round pick, insiders suggest the Giants might pivot to a more realistic target: Jets running back Breece Hall. Hall, coming off a three‑year, $43.5 million extension and a recent dip in playing time, could be moved for a third‑round pick, giving New York a 1,000‑yard rusher who also contributes in the passing game. The article weighs Hall versus other options like Tony Pollard or Derrick Henry.
A looming NFL trade deadline buzz centers on Colts star RB Jonathan Taylor, but insider Gary Myers reports owner Carlie Irsay‑Gordon is reluctant to move him after his two‑year, $44 million extension (including $39 million guaranteed through 2028). Unlike recent trades of guard Quenton Nelson and DT DeForest Buckner, Taylor’s contract makes a midseason deal costly, requiring the Giants—or suitors like the Vikings or Broncos—to offer a premium second‑round pick, a future fourth‑rounder, and a rookie‑level player. The trade talk remains unsettled as the deadline approaches.
The Bleeding Green Nation roundup highlights that the Philadelphia Eagles have placed quarterback Tanner McKee among several trade candidates as the franchise endures a six‑game losing streak. Alongside McKee, players like Hollywood Brown, Riq Woolen, Dallas Goedert, and Michael Carter II are perceived as available, while tight end Owen Ojomo may stay despite interest. The article also notes Joe Milton's first start, his background, and a brief update on the Giants’ NFC East prospects. With trade speculation and lineup changes heating up, fans get a snapshot of the Eagles' shaky mid‑season roster moves.
The trade market for Indianapolis Colts star running back Jonathan Taylor is taking shape as Tuesday's deadline draws closer.
During Thursday Night Football, the Jacksonville Jaguars blew out the Baltimore Ravens 33-10, prompting legendary announcer Al Michaels to pause the action for a four‑minute "bedtime story" about the team's first head coach, Tom Coughlin. Michaels recounted how Coughlin, then Boston College coach, mistakenly thought a call from a "Jaguar" was about a car before learning it was from the franchise's COO, David Seldin, leading to his interview and eventual hiring. The tale highlighted Coughlin’s early reluctance, his rapid rise to the Jaguars' inaugural season, and his later success, including two Super Bowl wins with the Giants. The story unfolds amid a key interception by Jaguars cornerback Jourdan Lewis.
When talking about his time with the New York Giants, former Minnesota Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy unintentionally criticized Kevin O'Connell.
With the NFL trade deadline looming on Nov. 10, the New York Giants are eyeing a running back upgrade. While rumors link the team to superstars like Jonathan Taylor, Saquon Barkley, and Derrick Henry, analysts suggest a more realistic target: Titans back Tony Pollard. Pollard, 29, has logged 595 yards and six touchdowns on 133 carries (4.5 yds/att) in eight games, plus 14 receptions for 70 yards. Acquiring him would be cheaper than a blockbuster deal and could fix the Giants' ball‑security issues while adding speed and patience to their ground game as they chase a playoff berth.
The Giants face a pivotal decision ahead of Sunday’s game against the Eagles as they weigh Saquon Barkley’s health. Barkley returned to limited practice on Thursday after missing a day with hamstring and back issues, but his availability remains uncertain. Coach Joe Milton III is slated to start at quarterback, and DeVonta Smith also sits out with a hamstring strain, adding more variables for Philadelphia. New York is advised to game‑plan as if Barkley will play, then adjust on game day, while balancing defensive assignments against both the run and Milton’s arm. The final injury report will determine the Giants’ strategy.
Jonathan Taylor is reportedly ready to be traded before the NFL deadline on Nov. 10, with the New York Giants and Minnesota Vikings leading the chase. Insider James Palmer says the Colts will entertain offers that meet their price, and both teams have been "very aggressive" in talks. Other potential bidders include the Broncos and Packers, but the Vikings are positioned as the most aggressive suitor to boost their backfield for a playoff push. Taylor’s game‑changing, every‑down skill set makes him a coveted asset as teams look to strengthen their ground game ahead of the postseason.
Fox forces most of the country to watch a Week 9 national broadcast of the Dallas Cowboys vs. Indianapolis Colts, while higher‑profile matchups like the Rams‑Commanders and Giants‑Eagles are limited to regional markets. The article criticizes the network for prioritizing the Cowboys brand despite their recent mediocre performance and the Colts’ rebuild, noting that top announcers Joe Davis and Greg Olsen are relegated to a regional game. In contrast, CBS’s national pick—Jets vs. Chiefs—offers a more compelling contest.
Jonathan Taylor's potential arrival in New York could leave Cam Skattebo's future with the New York Giants uncertain.
The NFL trade deadline buzz centers on the Packers and Giants eyeing Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor, while Green Bay also scouts the offensive line, possibly targeting veteran Landon Dickerson. The Jets, despite a crowded backfield, rule out trading wideout Garrett Wilson and favor a Hall‑Allen committee. Giants coach John Harbaugh pushes for upgrades, including a failed bid for DT Jeffrey Simmons, and remains active on the Taylor market and interior‑DL needs. Meanwhile, Jacksonville’s wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr., a 2024 Pro Bowl pick, sees his snap count dip and is expected to be moved by Tuesday, with the Commanders, Chiefs and Steelers showing interest. No trades are confirmed yet, but the deadline looms.
