The 1-4 New York Giants, coming off a disturbing Week 5 loss to the previously winless New Orleans Saints, face a tall task on Thursday night against the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, who are 4-1.
The Giants are 7.5-point underdogs, per FanDuel Sportsbook.
The Giants are getting a bit of a break as the Eagles will be without star defensive tackle Jalen Carter, out with a heel injury. Starting guard Landon Dickerson is also inactive for Philadelphia due to an ankle injury.
The Giants will be compromised at wide receiver. Star receiver Malik Nabers is on season-ending IR with a torn ACL, and veteran Darius Slayton will miss the game with a hamstring injury. The Giants elevated veteran wide receiver Lil’Jordan Humphrey from the practice squad for depth.
Giants’ starting right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor, questionable with a back issue, is active and expected to start. Running back Tyrone Tracy, who missed the last two games with a shoulder injury, will play Thursday.
