New York Giants
One last look back at Giants-Steelers
The New York Giants are for the seventh time in eight years after Monday’s 26-18 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. finished with 145 yards on 20 carries with a score (7.3 yards per carry). He unfortunately left the game with a head injury and is currently in the concussion protocol, but not before establishing himself as the 1A back moving forward when healthy.
Below are several impressive Tracy Jr. runs that showcase not only his noticeable burst through the hole but also the nuances that have allowed him...

Giants still trying to win their first home game of the season
The New York Giants (2-6) will face their NFC East rivals, the Washington Commanders (6-2), at MetLife Stadium this Sunday, entering as 3.5-point underdogs, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.
After falling to Washington 21-18 in Week 2, the Giants aim to reverse their season’s course in Week 9. The Giants lost that Week 2 game despite scoring three touchdowns and not giving up any. The Giants are 0-4 at MetLife Stadium this season. For betting purposes, New York is 3-5 against the spread and hasn’t covered in its last...

The New York Giants (2-6) will host the Washington Commanders (6-2) at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey this Sunday afternoon.
That, of course, provides those of us here at Giants Wire the opportunity to hypothetically steal from the Commanders’ roster in search of depth and/or talent upgrades for Big Blue for the second time this season.
Back in Week 2, we “stole” quarterback Jayden Daniels, so he’s eliminated as an option for this exercise.
Over the years, wide receiver Terry McLaurin has been the easy steal but that’s no longer a position of need. Other options include offensive...

New York Giants news for Wednesday
Good morning, New York Giants fans!
Big Blue View
With a record of 2-6 and little hope for a magical turnaround, the New York Giants are in prime position to sell at the NFL trade deadline.
For months, it has been speculated that wide receiver Darius Slayton and linebacker Azeez Ojulari would sit atop the list of likely candidates to be traded for draft assets. However, that now appears unlikely.
NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reports that general manager Joe Schoen would have to be “blown away” by a trade offer for either Slayton or Ojulari before pulling the trigger on a deal.
Two impending free agents for the...

The New York Giants have announced that safety Gervarrius Owens has been terminated from their practice squad.
The 25-year-old Owens was a seventh-round pick of the Giants in the 2023 NFL draft. He appeared in just three games for the team, recording one tackle and one fumble recovered.
Throughout the spring and early summer before suffering a knee injury, Owens appeared to be making a case for a 53-man roster spot but was ultimately released as a part of final cuts and promptly re-signed to the practice squad. He had not been elevated at the time of his Tuesday night...

Report says team “would have to be blown away” to deal either player
The New York Giants face a choice with the NFL trade deadline a week away. Do they hold on to players who might have value to other teams, perhaps risking losing a couple of free-agents-to-be in the offseason while getting nothing in return? Do they trade away players for future draft assets, perhaps risking the ire of players remaining in the locker room?
Head coach Brian Daboll referred those questions to GM Joe Schoen, which wasn’t helpful since Schoen won’t speak to media until the bye week,...

New York had a touchdown called back due to 1 of their 11 penalties. They gave up a punt return for a touchdown, thinking their punter had been run into during the same play. They benched their #1 cornerback after Steelers’ RB Najee Harris hurdled him —the crazy two-point conversion attempt.
And in the 4th quarter, with the game on the line twice, their QB suffered a strip sack fumble and threw a game-ending interception.

A good effort against a good team wasted by mistakes
It’s still the same old story. A fight for love and glory. A case of do or die. But for the New York Giants, it’s die, mostly, as time goes by.
Monday night was the type of dispiriting loss the Giants have had too many of this season - another game against a two-loss playoff-contending team that they could have won (there have now been three of them) but lost because of mistakes and failures to rise to the occasion at key moments. Yes, you are what your record says...

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll benched cornerback Deonte Banks in the second quarter of a 26-18 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday night.
Banks’ benching came just days after Daboll said he would not sit his starting corner due to a lack of effort displayed in Week 7. However, things changed after Banks failed to take down a leaping Najee Harris.
“I think he said it was missed tackles, I guess,’” Banks said, via the New York Post. “He really didn’t tell me what was going on, he just said stay ready I guess… I didn’t really...
