The Philadelphia Eagles release their Week 9 injury report ahead of the game with the New York Giants, listing seven starters—including star WR DeVonta Smith, RB Saquon Barkley and WR Dontayvion Wicks—as DNP due to hamstring, ankle and other injuries. Additional losses feature LB Jihaad Campbell, CB Jonathan Jones and S Michael Carter II. Only eight players, such as LB Zack Baun and TE Dallas Goedert, show full participation, while kicker Jake Elliott and edge rusher Jonathan Greenard are limited. The report also notes the Giants’ own injuries, with edge rusher Abdul Carter and RB Cam Skattebo missing practice. The Eagles face a depleted lineup heading into the matchup and a Week 10 bye.
The Philadelphia Eagles are reportedly turning to Joe Milton III as the starting quarterback this week against the New York Giants as the offense continues to sputter without starter Jalen Hurts, who was lost for the season due to blood clots.
The Steelers are eyeing a cornerback trade before the deadline to boost a secondary thinned by Joey Porter Jr.'s exit. With Aaron Rodgers in his final NFL window, Pittsburgh could add experienced help such as Riq Woolen (Eagles), Donte Jackson (Chargers), Alontae Taylor (Titans), Amik Robertson (Commanders) or Nahshon Wright (Jets). Current starters Jamel Dean, Asante Samuel Jr. and Daylen Everette may suffice, but a reliable defender would tighten coverage and ease pressure on the corners and safeties, giving the team a better shot at a playoff push.
The NFC roundup highlights several key updates: Commanders punter Tress Way praises rookie kicker Drew Stevens for his raw talent and composure, likening his consistency to a pro golfer’s swing. Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni says no staff changes are coming and backs quarterback Tanner McKee as the starter, while defensive coordinator Vic Fangio notes DE Jonathan Greenard’s limited practice due to injuries. The Giants, still keen on a trade for Commanders defensive lineman Daron Payne, discuss the need for a contract extension rather than a short‑term deal, and GM Joe Schoen mentions the team’s six 2027 draft picks and options to regain draft capital.
The Philadelphia Eagles add defensive back Christian Braswell to their practice squad, announced on Nov. 4, 2026. The 26‑year‑old, a 2023 sixth‑round pick (202 overall) by the Jacksonville Jaguars, spent 2024 toggling on Jacksonville’s practice squad, signed a futures deal in 2025, and was released with an injury settlement after being waived last month. Braswell has appeared in three games for the Jaguars this season before joining the Eagles.
The Steelers sit 6-2 and lead the AFC North as first‑year head coach Mike McCarthy earns high praise. Former Steeler Merril Hoge says McCarthy’s résumé belongs in the Hall of Fame, noting his success in Green Bay and Dallas and his immediate impact in Pittsburgh. Analysts highlight a balanced offense—13th in total yards (351.8) and 14th in rushing (117.9)—and a league‑leading sack total, with Jaylen Warren emerging as an Offensive Player of the Year candidate, out‑gaining stars like Derrick Henry and Christian McCaffrey. Upcoming tests include games against the Ravens, Eagles and Broncos as the team eyes its first playoff run in a decade.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers claim former Vikings guard Trevor Keegan off waivers, NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reports. Keegan, a 2024 fifth‑round pick who won a Super Bowl with the Eagles and played seven games for Minnesota this season, joins a Bucs line that has sparked a turnaround after an 0‑4 start, highlighted by a 16‑0 shutout of the Falcons in Week 8. The 26‑year‑old, a three‑time All‑Big Ten honoree and 2022 national champion at Michigan, will debut as Tampa Bay heads to Chicago for Sunday Night Football against the Bears.
The Chicago Bears, fresh off the blockbuster acquisition of All‑Pro DT Jeffery Simmons, are still hunting cornerbacks as the 2026 trade deadline looms. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler says the Bears have a growing need at the position, with Washington’s Mike Sainristil and Philadelphia’s Riq Woolen emerging as potential targets, though the Commanders may not be willing to part with Sainristil. Detroit is also in the mix, and former Bear corner Nahshon Wright is on the radar. Meanwhile, the Bears are linked to edge rushers like Khalil Mack, but the Chargers appear reluctant to trade him. The deadline is Nov. 10, with the Commanders (2‑4‑1) and Eagles (2‑6) both facing roster decisions.
As the NFL reaches the midway point of the 2026 season, multiple head coaches find themselves on the hot seat. The article’s “Safe or Fire” roundup flags Jim Harbaugh (Chargers, 0‑7, 0‑10 in his last ten) and Aaron Glenn (Jets, 5‑20) as definite firings, while DeMeco Ryans (Texans, 2‑5) earns a safe rating despite defensive woes. Shane Steichen (Colts), Dan Quinn (Commanders) and Nick Sirianni (Eagles) also face termination threats after recent blowouts, whereas Robert Saleh (Titans, 1‑7) is granted another year as the franchise rebuilds. The piece dissects recent records, key statistics and social‑media chatter to decide who stays and who goes before the next coaching carousel spins.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers claim offensive tackle Trevor Keegan off waivers from Minnesota on November 4, 2026. The 26‑year‑old former Michigan starter, a second‑team All‑Big Ten honoree and team captain, was originally drafted by the Eagles in the fifth round (172nd overall) and has a four‑year, $4.27 million contract. After stints with Dallas and the Vikings—where he appeared in seven games this season—Minnesota released him, allowing Tampa Bay to add depth to its O‑line.
Chicago must take advantage of a wide-open conference.
With the Eagles on a six‑game losing streak and their quarterback out for the season, General Manager Howie Roseman faces pressure to move assets before the Nov. 10 trade deadline. Analysts spotlight defensive tackle Moro Ojomo (25, 2025 breakout with six sacks) as a potential departure, while cornerback Riq Woolen (one‑year, $12 M deal) and tight end Dallas Goedert (31, 26 catches, 2 TDs in 2026) could fetch fourth‑ or fifth‑round picks. Wide receiver Hollywood Brown is also mentioned as a low‑cost, upside flip. Despite speculation, the organization says Saquon Barkley won’t be traded, and a full rebuild isn’t in the Eagles’ DNA.
Washington Commanders interior defensive lineman Javon Kinlaw, a 29‑year‑old trade candidate, suffers a season‑ending torn MCL that required surgery on Nov. 4, 2026. The injury, first seen in Week 6 against the 49ers, kept him out of Week 8 and the matchup with the Eagles before he was placed on injured reserve. Kinlaw posted 13 tackles, one sack and three QB hits in six games. His potential trade to the New Orleans Saints is now doubtful, and his $12.9 million 2027 salary could free up $7 million in cap space if released. The Commanders also lose Daron Payne to a Jones fracture, prompting depth calls for Tim Settle, Shy Tuttle and rookie Ricky Barber.
The Philadelphia Eagles have benched Tanner McKee and promoted Joe Milton III to the starting quarterback role, according to ESPN. McKee, who went 0‑3 with a 76.6 passer rating while filling in for the injured Jalen Hurts, was a third‑string rookie after the team cut veteran Andy Dalton. Milton, a 6’5”, 235‑lb former Patriots sixth‑round pick who bounced between the Cowboys’ bench and practice squad, offers a stronger arm and mobility but remains inconsistent. The move sets up an intriguing Week 9 showdown against the New York Giants and gives fans a fresh look at Philly’s QB situation.
The Philadelphia Eagles announce Joe Milton as their Week 9 starter against the New York Giants, replacing Tanner McKee after three straight losses.

Sharp Football Analysis’s Week 9 Fantasy Worksheet dissects the Giants‑Eagles clash, highlighting a -3.5 spread favoring New York and an 18.5 implied total. The Eagles sit 1‑7 ATS, 31st overall, and generate the fewest 20‑plus‑yard plays (2.1 per game) while failing to gain a first down on 41.2% of drives.

Defensive stats and play‑rate trends suggest a low‑scoring, defense‑driven matchup.
The Giants’ coach John Harbaugh must rethink his defense ahead of Sunday’s Week 9 clash with the Philadelphia Eagles, who have just benched Tanner McKee for rookie Joe Milton III.

With the NFC East standings starkly divided, the game could decide whether Philadelphia can halt its skid or New York continues its push for a playoff spot.

Theo Johnson returns to Giants practice after missing two games with a neck injury, giving New York a potential two‑tight‑end look for the upcoming showdown with Philadelphia. While his status for the game remains unconfirmed, coaches could pair Johnson’s size with Isaiah Likely’s proven receiving skills, forcing the Eagles to choose between a heavier front or more defensive backs. If Johnson’s workload stays limited, the Giants may stick with Likely and other backups, preserving the continuity from the Houston bye. The team is preparing both scenarios pending the medical update.
The Philadelphia Eagles have named practice‑squad signee Joe Milton the starter for Sunday’s game against the New York Giants, benching Tanner McKee, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Mike Garafolo. Milton, a 2024 sixth‑round pick who threw a 22‑of‑29, 241‑yard, two‑TD performance for the Patriots in 2024, will likely start against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 12 at Lincoln Financial Field. The move comes after Jalen Hurts was ruled out for the season with lung blood clots and the Eagles have dropped six straight, slipping to a 2‑6 start for the first time since 1999. Pittsburgh now faces a 11‑game losing streak in Philadelphia dating back to 1965.
The New York Giants, sitting 4‑2‑1 and atop the NFC East, are reportedly eyeing a defensive‑tackle upgrade before the Week 9 trade deadline. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler says the Giants have inquired about Jeffery Simmons and are now targeting six possible interior linemen: Grover Stewart (Colts), A’Shawn Robinson (Buccaneers), Moro Ojomo (Eagles), Christian Barmore (Patriots), Vita Vea (Buccaneers) and Jalen Carter (Eagles). While Stewart could fetch a Day‑3 pick, Barmore and Vea carry hefty salary tags that may stall deals. The article breaks down each player’s contract situation and on‑field impact, helping fans gauge the Giants’ chances of bolstering their D‑line.
The Philadelphia Eagles, sitting 2-6 after a season‑long collapse, name former Tennessee quarterback Joe Milton as their Week 9 starter against the New York Giants. With Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hurts sidelined by blood clots and key players like DeVonta Smith and Saquon Barkley missing games, the team is testing Milton as a potential long‑term backup. The sixth‑round pick (193rd overall, 2024) impressed in the Patriots' 2024 season finale, completing 75.9% of his passes for 241 yards and a TD in a 23‑16 win over Buffalo, but this will be his first NFL start. The game kicks off at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday.
