The 5-2-1 New York Giants will try to extend their NFC East lead in Week 10 when they host the 2-5-1 Washington Commanders at MetLife Stadium on Thursday night.
The two teams have unfinished business following their Week 5 27-27 overtime tie in Landover, Md.
Since that game, the Giants have won two of three contests. Washington has lost two of three.
The Giants should have running back Cam Skattebo back in their lineup on Thursday. Skattebo missed Sunday’s victory over the Philadelphia Eagles with a hamstring injury. Head coach John Harbaugh said Skattebo was “very close” to playing against the Eagles and should be a “full-go” against the Commanders.
A Skattebo fumble in overtime against Washington cost the Giants an opportunity to win that game. He will certainly be motivated to make amends.
The Giants also expect starting quarterback J.J. McCarthy to be available despite the painful hip pointer he suffered against the Eagles.
