The team will attempt to get back on track against Jaxson Dart and the New York Giants in Week 9.</p><p>San Francisco’s defensive coordinator Robert Saleh is making his return to MetLife Stadium. And the former New York Jets head coach is impressed with the Giants’ rookie QB. So impressed that he doesn’t blame Brian Daboll for his <a href="https://x.com/MySportsUpdate/status/1983987681807000006" rel="noopener">Week 6 faux pas</a> involving the league’s concussion protocol.</p><p>“[Dart’s] uber talented. I understand why Daboll went to the blue tent, I probably would have went too. I mean the kid’s good man. He’s a really, really, really good kid. I think New York hit it on this one. Big time,” Saleh said, per The 33rd Team’s Ari Meirov.</p><h2><b>49ers’ DC impressed by Jaxson Dart ahead of Week 9 clash</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Jaxson-Dart_90be71.jpg"><figcaption>Brad Penner-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Giants scored a huge victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 6. However, Dart took a big hit in the third quarter and was required to be evaluated for a concussion. While he was in the blue medical tent, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-giants/giants-news-nfl-nflpa-jaxson-dart-concussion-protocol-measures">Daboll broke league protocol</a> by peeking in on the exam to check on his quarterback.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Brian Daboll checking in on his QB <a href="https://t.co/R27Dj99Cef">pic.twitter.com/R27Dj99Cef</a></p><p>— Bobby Skinner (@BobbySkinner_) <a href="https://twitter.com/BobbySkinner_/status/1976474976510410878?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 10, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>The Giants’ head coach apologized for the transgression, explaining that he just wanted to get an idea of how long Dart would be sidelined. But it was a costly mistake. The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-giants/giants-news-new-york-jaxson-dart-concussion-protocol-violation-fine">NFL fined the Giants $200,000</a> for the violation. Daboll got hit with a $100k fine and even Cam Skattebo was penalized $15,000, as the running back also checked in on Dart.</p><p>Still, Saleh gets it. “[Dart’s] dynamic, he’s decisive, he’s accurate. He’s been a joy to watch studying his tape over the last…  five starts now… This kid, he’s gonna be special,” he said.</p><p>Saleh is tasked with taming the Giants’ offense ahead of New York’s matchup with a battered 49ers squad. San Francisco is dealing with injuries on both sides of the ball. However, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/san-francisco-49ers/49ers-news-san-francisco-about-to-get-much-needed-injury-reinforcements">49ers expect defensive reinforcements</a> soon.</p><p>Despite the injuries, including <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/san-francisco-49ers/49ers-news-nick-bosa-torn-acl-vs-cardinals-done-season">Nick Bosa’s season-ending ACL tear</a>, Saleh has transformed the 49ers’ defense in 2025. San Francisco had the 29th-ranked scoring defense last season, but the unit is eighth-best in the league through eight weeks under Saleh.</p><p>The veteran coach resumed his role as the 49ers’ DC this season after a raw deal with the Jets. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/san-francisco-49ers/49ers-news-robert-saleh-head-coach-endorsement-san-francisco-players">Saleh should get another head coaching opportunity</a>. But for now, his focus is on stopping Dart and the Giants’ offense.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Vele has done next to nothing for the Saints this year, and the team could be looking to recoup some draft capital as they are likely to finish as one of the worst teams in the league this year.</p><p>Another Broncos-Saints receiver trade could be on the table. Reports suggest that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/nfl-rumors-saints-wr-linked-broncos-trade-but-its-not-chris-olave">Denver is interested in Rashid Shaheed</a>, but perhaps they can pull off a move for Chris Olave instead. Shaheed is a pure burner. While Bo Nix and his receivers have missed on a number of deep balls this season, they already have a great speed demon in Marvin Mims. Olave would bring much more to the table for the Broncos.</p><p>Olave surpassed 1,000 receiving yards in each of his first two fully healthy seasons. The Broncos have one of the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/nfl-stories/ranking-top-10-nfl-defensive-units-for-2025-season">best defensive units in football</a>, but by bringing in Olave to pair with Mims, Troy Franklin, Evan Engram, and Courtland Sutton, the offense would be almost as scary. Despite all the hype surrounding Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, and Drake Maye, it is Nix who has the best numbers of his sophomore quarterback peers through 1.5 seasons. He could use one more weapon, though, and the Broncos should try to swing a deal for Olave instead of Shaheed.</p><p>Olave’s concussion history and the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-orleans-saints/saints-news-tyler-shough-not-fun-admission-starter">Saints’ decision to promote Tyler Shough</a> to the starting quarterback position are the two biggest things that could prevent this trade from happening. New Orleans may want to ensure their rookie signal caller has weapons around him while he learns the ropes of starting at quarterback. This proposed deal would not only replenish New Orleans’ trove of draft picks with a surplus of capital, though, but it would even return the seventh-rounder that they included in the Vele trade.</p><h2><b>The Giants replace Cam Skattebo</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Breece-Hall-1.jpg"><figcaption>Katie Stratman-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p><b>New York Giants receive:</b> Breece Hall</p><p><b>New York Jets receive:</b> 2026 3rd-round pick, 2027 fifth-round pick</p><p>The New York Giants suffered a devastating blow earlier in the season when <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-giants/giants-news-malik-nabers-finally-surgery-torn-acl">Malik Nabers suffered a season-ending injury</a>. They were again hit hard by the injury bug when <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-giants/giants-news-cam-skattebo-suffered-2-other-injuries-besides-dislocated-ankle">Cam Skattebo dislocated his ankle</a>. The rookie running back had become the heart and soul of a Giants team that seemed revitalized ever since Jaxson Dart took over as the starting quarterback.</p><p>Skattebo’s injury is believed to be worse than initially thought, and it is now believed that it could significantly impact his future outlook. The Giants should trade for Breece Hall, who has been involved in New York Jets’ trade rumors for quite some time now. Hall is still one of the best running backs in the NFL, and he’d give the Giants’ offense a boost while simultaneously taking the pressure off of Skattebo to return too quickly.</p><p>Upon Skattebo’s return, he and Hall would form an impressive and cohesive duo. Hall is an elite pass-catching running back and great speed threat, whereas Skattebo is more of a bruiser who runs through defenders. Injuries to running backs are common, and having the insurance of two good ones makes sense for the Giants.</p><p>Hall is still just 24 years old. The career lifespan of an NFL running back is relatively short, but Hall is young enough that he’d be worth paying a pretty penny for. The Jets like what they have in Braelon Allen, and they don’t seem to have much interest in re-signing Hall. The Giants have the future cap space to give the Iowa State product a lucrative contract when his current deal expires at season’s end.</p><h2><b>The Steelers trade for Aaron Rodgers’ successor</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Kyler-Murray_f998aa.jpg"><figcaption>Joe Rondone/The Republic / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p><b>Pittsburgh Steelers receive:</b> Kyler Murray</p><p><b>Arizona Cardinals receive:</b> 2026 first-round pick, 2026 fourth-round pick</p><p>After six quarterbacks were taken in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft and two more first-round signal callers were selected in 2025, there aren’t many teams that clearly need a long-term answer at quarterback. The Pittsburgh Steelers are one of those teams, though, as Aaron Rodgers could very well retire after this season.</p><p>Rodgers is already 41 years old, and although he has looked good for his age, the Steelers are still in the bottom five in passing yards (1,501) this season. The Steelers will finish out the year with Rodgers, but they should be looking to the future to find who will be the next quarterback of the team.</p><p>Unlike some of the other quarterback-needy teams, the Steelers won’t have a high draft pick where they can select a premier QB prospect. Pittsburgh seems poised to yet again finish above .500, and therefore, they will likely miss out on drafting players such as Fernando Mendoza, Dante Moore, and LaNorris Sellers. Pittsburgh could try to pull off a blockbuster trade for Kyler Murray, though.</p><p>The former first overall pick hasn’t quite lived up to his potential, and now that the Arizona Cardinals have lost five straight games, they might become <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/nfl-stories/2025-nfl-trade-deadline-which-teams-buyers-sellers">NFL trade deadline sellers</a>. It is unclear if they are ready to move on from Murray, but that is an idea that has been floated around in the past. For the Steelers, Murray is still just 28 years old. He is an excellent scrambler who has a great arm, and he has looked like an above-average quarterback plenty of times throughout the course of his career.</p><p>The Steelers have been in somewhat of a quarterback purgatory for years now, and Murray might be the player who can get them out of it. It would be a weird move, considering he would have to sit on the bench for the rest of the season. Murray is under contract through 2028, though, so the Steelers should pounce on the chance to get him if he is made available.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Lawrence was prompted to respond by reporters and simply <a href="https://x.com/JordanRaanan/status/1983612602493305025" rel="noopener">called the ex-linebacker</a> “delusional.”</p><p>“Those are strong words,” Lawrence said, via ESPN’s Jordan Raanan. “If that’s how you feel?

Lawrence, who led the league at this point in the year last season, has taken a step back on paper.</p><p>However, it is unfair to say that defenses no longer respect him. The defensive tackle’s sack numbers are down due to his absurdly high double-team rate. Lawrence gets <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46773369/dexter-lawrence-rips-carl-banks-delusional-comments" rel="noopener">double-teamed on 74.9 percent</a> of his pass-rushing plays, the highest rate in the league, according to Raanan.</p><p>Raanan noted that Lawrence said he thought he had been playing well. Sack numbers aside, “Sexy Dexy” has 20 tackles through eight games and snagged the first interception of his career in Week 4. He came just a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-giants/giants-news-justin-herbert-kept-342-pound-dexter-lawrence-pick-6">few yards short of the end zone after the interception</a>, which would have been his first career touchdown.</p><h2><b>Dexter Lawrence II’s effect on Giants’ other pass-rushers</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Giants-star-pass-rusher-Brian-Burns-celebrates.jpg"><figcaption>Brad Penner-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Regardless of Lawrence’s lack of sacks, the Giants are still wreaking havoc as a team. New York is 14th in sacks and 11th in pressures with 19 and 63, respectively. Most of that credit goes to edge-rusher Brian Burns, who is tied with Myles Garrett with a league-high 10 sacks.</p><p>Lawrence’s dominance directly gives his teammates opportunities to thrive. Burns has been an All-Pro-level pass-rusher for years, but he is certainly elevated by lining up next to Lawrence.</p><p>As teams double Lawrence on nearly every snap, they are not as capable of bringing help to the edges. As a result, Burns only gets <a href="https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-chip-and-double-team-rates-ranking-the-defensive-linemen-who-overcome-extra-attention" rel="noopener">doubled on 31.9 percent</a> of his pass-rush snaps, according to Pro Football Focus. Likewise, Kayvon Thibodeaux has a 31.6 percent double-team rate, with Abdul Carter receiving help on 26.3 percent of his pass rushes.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Both teams lost their Week 8 matchups and are dealing with injuries to key players. Can San Francisco’s defense bounce back after a rough performance in Houston? How will <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-giants/giants-news-cam-skattebo-suffered-2-other-injuries-besides-dislocated-ankle">New York’s offense change without Cam Skattebo</a>? We have the answers in our Week 9 49ers vs Giants bold predictions.</p><p>The Giants are now 2-6 and without two of their key offensive playmakers. Skattebo, like Malik Nabers, is out for the season. Cornerback Cor’Dale Flott and tight end Daniel Bellinger both left the Eagles matchup and remain on the injury report. As for the 49ers, their injury bug has not stopped. Brock Purdy may be back under center after missing time with turf toe.</p><p>Can the 49ers regain their winning ways? Or will Jaxson Dart lead the Giants to victory? Let’s find out in our Week 9 bold predictions.</p><h2><b>Brian Burns, Kayvon Thibodeaux combine for 2.5 sacks</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Brian-Burns-with-NY-Giants.jpg"><figcaption>Eric Hartline-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Giants are far from the best team in football, but they have one of the elite pass rush duos in the game. Brian Burns has been sensational since joining Big Blue from the Carolina Panthers, racking up 10 sacks so far this year. Former first-round pick Kayvon Thibodeaux has not had as much success, with just 2.5 sacks on the season. But against the 49ers, they will combine for 2.5 sacks.</p><p>The Giants’ defense has been a problem in the last two weeks, especially allowing <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-giants/giants-news-brian-burns-frustrations-way-off-field-collapse-broncos">33 points in the fourth quarter against the Denver Broncos</a>. Their pass rush is far and away the best positional group on Shane Bowen’s defense, so letting them fire at the quarterback will be key to any victory down the stretch.</p><p>One of Burns and Thibodeaux will be lined up against Trent Williams, one of the best left tackles of a generation, on every snap. That will make this bold prediction harder to reach, but they will rack up the sacks.</p><h2><b>George Kittle scores a touchdown</b></h2><p>The 49ers offense has been solid despite a cavalcade of injuries in recent weeks. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/san-francisco-49ers/49ers-news-brock-purdy-ricky-pearsall-get-mixed-injury-update-before-week-9">Ricky Pearsall has not practiced</a>, Jauan Jennings is playing through injuries, and the quarterback situation is up in the air. With that said, whoever plays quarterback should be looking at the Hall-of-Fame tight end for touchdowns. George Kittle will score for the second straight week against the Giants.</p><p>In Week 8, the Giants allowed two touchdowns to Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert. Kittle will be studying that tape and ready to feast in this big game. The 49ers lost to the Texans despite Kittle and backup tight end Jake Tonges both scoring touchdowns. They cannot afford to lose another, so expect to see Kittle in the end zone on Sunday.</p><h2><b>The 49ers win on the road</b></h2><p>The 49ers will beat the Giants at MetLife Stadium to move to 6-3 on the season. The Meadowlands have not been kind to San Francisco in the past, as the site of Nick Bosa’s first ACL injury. They did beat both the Jets and the Giants on the road in that 2020 season. The 49ers will win this game, no matter who the quarterback is.</p><p>The 49ers are in one of the best divisions in football, with both the Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks off to hot starts. A 1:00 p.m. Eastern start for a West Coast team is always tough, but San Francisco knows it needs this win. The Giants are a winnable game with Nabers and Skattebo out, and the juggernaut Niners should take the game easily.</p><p>According to FanDuel Sportsbook, the 49ers are 2.5-point <a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/football/nfl/san-francisco-49ers-@-new-york-giants-34870719" rel="noopener">favorites and</a> -148 on the moneyline.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Michael Carter II has primarily lived in the slot, where short-area quickness and communication are king, and that’s exactly where the Eagles have been patching snaps.</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/jets-news-michael-carter-out-week-7-panthers">former Jets defensive back missed time earlier this month</a> with a concussion, but the evaluation on him has always been about versatility: inside coverage, pattern-match smarts, and willingness as a blitzer and tackler, traits that translate cleanly to Vic Fangio’s spacing rules.</p><p>Per Ian Rapoport, the Eagles are trading for Jets corner Michael Carter II <a href="https://x.com/MikeGarafolo/status/1983619959420023020" rel="noopener">to fill that need</a>, with WR John Metchie III heading to New York. In full: Philadelphia gets Carter and a 2027 seventh-rounder; the Jets get Metchie and a 2027 sixth-rounder.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Sources: The <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Eagles?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Eagles</a> are trading for <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Jets?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Jets</a> versatile CB Michael Carter II to fill a need for them, with WR John Metchie III heading to NYJ in the deal.</p><p>In all:<br>— Philly gets Carter and a 2027 7th rounder.<br>— New York gets Metchie and a 2027 6th rounder. <a href="https://t.co/PAVGNwLL1k">pic.twitter.com/PAVGNwLL1k</a></p><p>— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) <a href="https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/1983619813508538756?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 29, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>For Philly, Carter II is a plug-and-play nickel who can handle option routes, bunches, and motion without blowing landmarks. He lets the outside corners stay outside, stabilizes third-down packages, and gives the pass rush that extra beat when slot windows don’t pop open immediately. The late-round pick swap is a small price for a clean schematic fit.</p><p>For the Jets, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/john-metchie-iii-trade-grades-for-eagles-texans">Metchie III is a change-of-scenery bet on polish</a>. He’s a route technician with inside/outside flexibility, good hands, and enough burst to threaten intermediate windows.</p><p>If he stacks healthy weeks, he profiles as a timing-based target who helps on third down and in the red zone. In a room that needs trustworthy separators, that’s a swing worth taking, especially when it also bumps New York up a round in 2027.</p><p>Zooming out, the swap reflects both teams’ timelines: Philadelphia shores up a specific weak spot for the stretch run; New York adds a young receiver with upside and minor draft value. It’s tidy business on both sides.</p><p>As for Metchie’s broader outlook, prior “grades” pegged him as a viable WR3/4 who could grow with reps, the kind of acquisition Philly often maximizes and the Jets now hope to. The evaluation hasn’t changed: if he stacks availability, the skill set plays.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Thibodeaux has flashed in stretches this fall while sharing edge duties with rookie Abdul Carter, which keeps his name in rival front offices’ files even if an actual move remains unlikely.</p><p>ESPN’s latest deadline rundown points to a different kind of Giants activity. Dan Graziano identifies offensive lineman Evan Neal as an under-the-radar trade candidate: a 25-year-old former No. 7 pick who has bounced between tackle and guard without sticking and is headed for free agency after the season.</p><p>With so many teams hunting OL depth, New York could recoup a pick if the price is right. The Giants may also explore late-round value on other stalled investments, receiver Jalin Hyatt has interest in a fresh start, and OL Joshua Ezeudu (IR-designated to return) fits the ever-present league need up front. Crucially, Graziano <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46758057/nfl-week-9-trade-deadline-buzz-news-updates-fantasy-intel-questions-predictions" rel="noopener">adds he was “firmly told”</a> the Giants are not looking to move Thibodeaux, suggesting any calls on the edge rusher are being met with a hard no, as noticed by ESPN.</p><p>For New York, that split focus makes sense: protect cornerstone pieces, shop from positions where development has stalled, and stack picks without detonating the core. Moving Neal would clear a logjam and potentially open snaps for younger linemen while providing modest draft capital for a roster that still needs breadth.</p><p>Penalties and officiating haven’t helped the vibes, either. Thibodeaux vented after a controversial Week 8 “tush push” sequence versus the Eagles, when his apparent strip of Jalen Hurts was wiped out by an early forward-progress whistle.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-giants/giants-news-kayvon-thibodeaux-bullst-tush-push-call">He called the explanation “bulls**t,”</a> noting how difficult it is for defenders to know when a play is truly over, one of several calls that compounded a 38-20 loss and kept pressure squarely on a 2-6 team trying to stem the slide.</p><p>With the clock ticking, expect the Giants to prioritize pragmatic, bottom-of-the-roster deals, think OL depth and WR reshuffles, while keeping the door shut on moving their blue-chip edge. Thibodeaux’s name may trend, but the firmer action likely comes from quieter places on the depth chart.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Now the rehab process can begin and the Giants hope to have Skattebo back for the team’s offseason program in the spring.</p><p>Rapoport added that Skattebo’s injury has a <a href="https://x.com/RapSheet/status/1983514754074148991" rel="noopener">four-to-six month recovery window</a>. That means, even on the long end, the rookie running back should be ready to roll for OTAs and minicamp in 2026.</p><p>Hopefully Skattebo can pick up right where he left off during his sophomore season.</p><h2><b>Giants offense now devastated by multiple season-ending injuries</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Giants-1_bbe04c.jpg"><figcaption>Brad Penner-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Skattebo’s injury could not have come at a worse time for the Giants.</p><p>New York’s offense changed once Skattebo became an established starter.

He also contributed 24 receptions for 207 receiving yards and two touchdowns through the air.</p><p>The Giants can lean on Tyrone Tracy Jr. with Skattebo out, but their offense will certainly be less dangerous.</p><p>New York was already without superstar receiver Malik <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-giants/giants-news-malik-nabers-have-surgery-torn-acl-meniscus">Nabers, who suffered season-ending ACL and meniscus injuries</a> earlier this month.</p><p>Now the Giants are down their two best offensive weapons heading into the back half of the 2025 season.</p><p>That puts New York into an interesting position, especially considering Jaxson Dart is in his rookie year. Perhaps the Giants attempt to make a trade to add talent in a desperate attempt to rescue their season. Or they could try to stick out the rest of the season with what they’ve already got.</p><p>Either way, big changes could be coming to New York this offseason if the Giants cannot put together some more wins.</p><p>Next up for the Giants is a Week 9 matchup against the 49ers.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

At 0-3, head coach Brian Daboll had to make a change at quarterback. Jaxson Dart replaced Russell Wilson, and the Giants upset the Chargers in that game. However, star wide receiver Malik Nabers injured his knee and found out after the game that he had torn his ACL. The Giants, without Nabers, would later upset the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday Night Football. 17 days later, the Giants and Eagles met again.</p><p>Midway through the game, the Giants experienced another brutal blow. Rookie running back Cam Skattebo dislocated his ankle while being tackled. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-giants/giants-news-cam-skattebo-nasty-injury-teammates-distraught">Skattebo was immediately rushed to the hospital</a>.</p><p>The Giants have now lost two major weapons for rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart. Injuries are the worst, and it will be difficult for the Giants to overcome this in 2025. Both Nabers and Skattebo are expected to play next season. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-giants/giants-news-malik-nabers-finally-surgery-torn-acl">Nabers had his surgery for the ACL</a> on Tuesday.</p><p>Skattebo was officially <a href="https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1983290920390013383" rel="noopener">placed on IR</a> on Tuesday.</p><p>Tyrone Tracy Jr. will take over the starting running back duties. On the season, he has 45 carries for 159 yards and one touchdown. He is averaging 3.5 yards per carry with 10 catches for 68 yards. Against Philly, he ran the ball 10 times for 39 yards.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Giants know they aren’t going to be able to replace his production via free agency. However, somebody has to catch the ball in New York.</p><p>Which is why the Giants <a href="https://x.com/MySportsUpdate/status/1983281084143153602" rel="noopener">worked out wide receiver</a> Diontae Johnson on Tuesday, via Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team. There is no word on a potential deal between player and franchise. However, New York is at least interested in seeing what Johnson can bring to the table.</p><p>During the 2024 season, the receiver spent time with the Carolina Panthers, Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans. However, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/cleveland-browns/browns-news-diontae-johnson-comes-clean-about-decision-that-led-to-ravens-suspension">he didn’t stick with any franchise</a>. Johnson was a standout pass catcher during his time with the Pittsburgh Steelers though, which is at least piquing the Giants’ interest.</p><p>Over five years in Pittsburgh, the receiver caught 391 passes for 4,363 yards and 25 touchdowns. He was a Pro Bowler in 2021 after setting career-highs in receptions (107), yardage (1,161) and touchdowns (eight).</p><p>Of course, Johnson is now far removed from that season. And after his chaotic 2024 season, it’s fair to wonder how much he has left to offer. But with Nabers down, the Giants have had to rely on receivers like Wan’Dale Robinson and Theo Johnson.</p><p>Johnson, Diontae that is, won’t completely change the Giants wide receiver room. Him signing with the franchise would be a dart throw from New York, hoping to get any juice left out of the wide receiver. How he performs at Tuesday’s tryout, and how the Giants respond, will be extremely telling of where the team and player stand.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
