After a disappointing Week 6 loss to the New Orleans Saints, the New York Giants are scrambling to revive a sputtering defense, and rookie edge rusher Abdul Carter offers a bright spot. ESPN ranks the Giants’ pass‑rush win rate fourth in the league, with Carter tied for first among edge players at a 36% win rate. The 2025 third‑overall pick has recorded two sacks, seven QB hits, 14 tackles and nine pressures, leading a unit where no one else has more than two sacks. Coaches hope his trench dominance can spark a turnaround for the Giants’ pass rush.
The New York Giants are hoping to take charge of the NFC East this season. The Giants have moved into first place in the division with a 3-2-1 record as their opponents within the division are all struggling at this point. Matt Nagy said that J.J. McCarthy's "skill set is very similar to Jaxson (Dart)." […]

Giants defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson berates his unit after a sloppy Week 6 loss to the Saints, warning that poor tackling will force roster moves before the Week 7 showdown with the Houston Texans. The Giants missed 13 tackles (seven on the run), with linebackers Trace Ford and Arvell Reese each accounting for two missed stops, according to Pro Football Focus. Wilson stressed that bad technique reflects unacceptable behavior and promised changes if the trend continues, a stark warning as Texas’ offense heats up.
The New York Giants officially name J.J. McCarthy as their Week 7 starter against the Houston Texans, ending Jameis Winston’s stint as QB1. Winston praised McCarthy’s “explosive” fourth‑quarter effort versus the Saints—where he logged 243 yards in one quarter—and vowed to stay ready, focusing on getting “1% better” daily. The veteran’s endorsement aims to quash any locker‑room drama as the 3‑2‑1 Giants, now atop the NFC East, rely on McCarthy’s mobility and Winston’s mentorship heading into a tough Texans pass rush.
With starting safeties Jevon Holland (concussion) and Tyler Nubin (neck) sidelined, the New York Giants could rely on Ar'Darius Washington—who spent five seasons under John Harbaugh in Baltimore—to step up for Sunday’s game in Houston. Washington, 24, has logged 11 tackles and one start this year, and his familiarity with Coach Harbaugh offers a more reliable contingency than reshuffling the entire secondary. The team’s depth chart already lists him as Holland’s backup, while Jason Pinnock covers strong safety, allowing the Giants to avoid extensive personnel shuffling unless injuries persist.
Azeez Al-Shaair has made strides in his recovery and is nearing a return to the field ahead of the Houston Texans‘ Week 7 matchup this weekend. This presents concern for New York Giants quarterback J.J. McCarthy, who will be the starter against Houston. Al-Shaair is going through the eighth season of his NFL career, his […]

John Harbaugh ultimately made his firm call on naming J.J. McCarthy as the New York Giants starting quarterback over Jameis Winston for the 2026 season. Winston struggled to create scores against New Orleans’ defense on Oct. 18, completing 14 out of 26 passes for 152 yards and a touchdown and two interceptions. They trailed 27-10 […]

ESPN’s trade deadline column spots Saquon Barkley and Khalil Mack as hot topics despite no real talks. The Eagles, saddled with a $80 million 2027 dead‑money load after losing QB Jalen Hurts to thrombosis and letting Lane Johnson retire, face a $26 million cap hit if they move Barkley now—adding to an existing $27.1 million A.J. Brown charge. Analysts propose deals sending Barkley to Houston for multiple picks and Woody Marks, or a multi‑team swap involving Detroit and Los Angeles. Meanwhile, Mack’s veteran production sparks chatter about a Chicago Bears reunion. Both scenarios clash with GM Howie Roseman’s reluctance to upset fans or worsen the cap crunch.
The Giants face a daunting quarterback transition as both right tackles are sidelined—Jermaine Eluemunor (calf) and Marcus Mbow (knee)—with Andrew Thomas also out (groin). With J.J. McCarthy set to take over, New York must devise extra protection schemes, possibly using tight ends or backs, rather than relying on starter tackles. Coach Harbaugh assures the offensive concepts stay familiar, but the lack of healthy linemen limits play‑calling and could shrink the passing menu. The article warns that without a quick return of the tackles, the Giants’ QB change could be hampered by inadequate pass protection.
The Philadelphia Eagles have signed former Alabama standout and New York Giants offensive lineman Evan Neal to their practice squad as they look to snap a four-game losing streak ahead of their Week 7 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.

Philadelphia added Neal, Jaydon Blue and Anfernee Orji to its practice squad and waived E.J. Jenkins. The Giants released Neal in August, and the Raiders cut him from their practice squad Monday.
The NFL trade deadline is 4 p.m. ET Nov. 10. A team that trades for a player takes on only his unpaid salary. The Giants hold five 2027 draft picks.
The Philadelphia Eagles add former Giants first‑round pick Evan Neal to their practice squad, a day after his tryout, while also re‑signing running back Jaydon Blue and linebacker Anfernee Orji. Tight end E.J. Jenkins is waived. At 26, Neal offers size and line versatility that could help a depth‑strapped Eagles frontline amid ongoing injuries. The moves signal the team’s continued roster tweaking ahead of potential 53‑man roster upgrades.
The New York Giants recently announced that JJ McCarthy would be replacing Jameis Winston as the team’s starting quarterback for this week’s game against the Houston Texans. The news comes after McCarthy took over for Winston down the stretch of last week’s game vs the New Orleans Saints and nearly led the team on a […]

Gary Meyers revisits his earlier prediction that the NY Giants would trade for Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy, this time taking aim at coach Kevin O’Connell. Meyers calls O’Connell’s praise of McCarthy “laughable,” arguing the coach hasn’t earned genius status without a playoff win and that he overloaded the 23‑year‑old QB too soon. The piece notes McCarthy’s recent fourth‑quarter snaps, including connections with Malik Nabers and Isaiah Likely, while questioning whether Minnesota mis‑handled the trade for cap space. It urges patience on both the young quarterback’s development and O’Connell’s coaching track record.
Per Connor Hughes, the Giants will likely try to add to their running back room before the upcoming trade deadline. Hughes admits he has his doubts that a move will come to fruition, however, and isn’t sure trading a day two pick or more for someone like Colts RB Jonathan Taylor is worth it. He […]

Dennard Wilson called the Saints game one of the defense's worst tackling games and said the Giants will change players who don't change their behavior.
After seemingly falling out of favor with the Giants last week, Cam Skattebo's name has been thrown around as a potential trade piece.
The New York Giants cut veteran running back Najee Harris on Tuesday after his four‑carry, two‑yard showing in a 34‑27 loss to the New Orleans Saints. Harris, signed in August, logged just 99 yards on 31 carries in five games, joining fellow releases Odell Beckham Jr. and Darius Slayton under head coach John Harbaugh. The article weighs the pros—forcing accountability and motivating the roster—and the cons, suggesting the rapid turnover exposes flaws in the team’s evaluation process, especially as other backs like Cam Skattebo, Devin Singletary and Tyrone Tracy Jr. struggle below 3.7 yards per carry. It asks whether Harbaugh’s tough‑love approach will spark a winning culture or deepen the Giants’ instability.
The Giants (3-2-1) head to Houston as 10.5‑point underdogs in Week 7, debuting rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy. The blog predicts McCarthy will break 300 passing yards against a Texans secondary that has already yielded three 300‑yard games, thanks to targets Malik Nabers and Isaiah Likely. With Najee Harris released, running backs Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy Jr. are expected to each find the end zone, boosting a ground game that has struggled under 3.7 yards per carry. Giants cornerbacks Deonte Banks and Greg Newsome II are slated to intercept C.J. Stroud three times, while kicker Dominic Zvada could seal the win with a last‑second field goal.
Cam Skattebo may be getting back into the New York Giants’ good graces after his recent demotion, and offensive coordinator Matt Nagy’s latest comments suggest the running back handled the situation exactly how the coaching staff wanted. According to Dan Duggan, Nagy praised Skattebo for how he responded to last week’s reduced role, calling his […]
