New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard returned from a turf-toe injury on Thursday night against the Eagles with six catches for 59 yards and a touchdown.

Darius Slayton Doesn't Do Much Versus Eagles

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton had a quiet night on Thursday as he was blanketed by Pro Bowl cornerback Darius Slay. Slayton caught just two passes for 23 yards as New York's leading receiver was targeted just four times by QB Daniel Jones. Slayton has had big games this season, but has also […]

Golden Tate Scores Touchdown On Otherwise Quiet Night

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate scored his first touchdown of the season and did nothing else on Thursday night in Philadelphia. Tate made a contested-catch which he took in for a 39-yard touchdown early in the game and was invisible from there as the veteran receiver didn't record another catch. Tate had just […]

Evan Engram Shows Signs Of Life

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram tied his season-high with six catches Thursday night that he turned into 46 yards. Engram added three rushing yards on two carries. The 46 yards are his second-highest total of the season and while he hasn't found the end zone, things are trending up for the fourth-year tight […]

Dion Lewis Rushes For 23 Yards On Thursday

New York Giants running back Dion Lewis handled three carries for 23 yards in a loss to the Eagles on Thursday.

Devonta Freeman Questionable To Return Monday Night

Sterling Shepard Activated From Injured Reserve

The New York Giants activated wide receiver Sterling Shepard (toe) from Injured Reserve on Thursday, and he'll be eligible to play on Thursday night against the Eagles. Shepard was expected to be one of the team's leading receivers in 2020, but he missed the last four games due to turf toe. In the first six […]

Andrew Thomas To Start Thursday

The New York Giants plan on using first-round left tackle Andrew Thomas in the starting lineup on Thursday night against the Eagles, according to an informed source. Thomas was benched in the first half of the Week 6 win over the Washington Football Team for violating a team policy, but he will return this week […]

Giants Defense In Play For Thursday Night Matchup

The New York Giants Defense has been better in recent weeks and has another good matchup in Week 7 with a Thursday night matchup with a banged-up Eagles offense.

Evan Engram Draws Another Favorable Matchup Versus Eagles

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram is off to a disappointing start to the season, but he draws another favorable matchup in Week 7 on Thursday night.

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton has been the best receiving option in New York this season and will look to continue his success versus the Eagles in Week 7.

Devonta Freeman Leading New York Backfield

New York Giants running back Devonta Freeman has seen his workload increase in each week with the team since signing after Week 2.
