Texans running back Dameon Pierce not practicing for third day in a row due to ankle injury suffered in fourth quarter against Panthers and he's not expected to play Sunday against Buccaneers Devin Singletary has run with first offense all week and is prepping to start.

Singletary has actually outperformed Pierce on a per-carry basis 3.0-to-3.7 but the running game has been less than inspiring to this point in the season. Pierce should take the majority of the touches in Week 9, which makes him an RB2 option.

Reserve/Injured:
▪️ RB Eric Gray

Claimed off Waivers from Cleveland:
▪️ RB Deon Jackson

Gray was a bigger name in the dynasty world and was running as the Giants RB4, or most recently with Barkley out as the RB3. Jackson likely takes over that role. Jackson had a nice run a season ago when Jonathan Taylor was hurt, but since then has mostly bounced around.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts finished the game with a knee brace.

Hurts was one of the last out of the locker room after halftime and reports said Mariota was close to getting ready to enter the game. Hurts was seen limping after the game but the QB played off the injury during his postgame press conference and says he'll be fine. It was a season-low for rushing yards for Hurts as well. It will be worth monitoring heading into Week 8, which is an early Sunday game against the Commanders.

Running back Saquon Barkley made his intentions crystal clear with the NFL's trade deadline less than two weeks away: He wants to remain with the New York Giants.

"Sitting here, everyone knows how I feel. Everyone knows I don't want to get traded," Barkley said. "I don't think anyone in their right mind would want to get traded anywhere. It's not an easy thing to do. You have to move. I have a family. I would love to be here."

In fantasy terms, there are a ton of other spots we would rather see Barkley play out the 2023 season, but this is certainly nice for Giants fans who don't want to see the back move on. We'll have to see how much the team weighs his intentions as the October 31st trade deadline approaches.

Giants RB Saquon Barkley (ankle) is officially questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills.

Neither Breida or Brightwell are suggested starts if Barkley misses Sunday.

The Giants listed RB Saquon Barkley (ankle) as questionable for Sunday.

LT Andrew Thomas (hamstring) is out again.

Things were looking up earlier in the week but it doesn't seem like he's up to speed quite yet. Breida took control of a fledgling backfield last week but neither he or Brightwell should be started in typical leagues if the RB1 is out.

The Giants injury report again shows that three offensive linemen didn’t practice. LT Andrew Thomas, C John Michael Schmitz, and G Shane Lemieux almost certainly aren’t going to be able to play Sunday vs. Dolphins.

As for RB Saquon Barkley (ankle), he’s feeling better but was limited for the second consecutive day. Not overly optimistic on that one either after hearing Barkley speak, even though he said he was in a “better spot” than he was last week.

Looks like there's a decent shot Barkley will play in Week 5, and he figures to get plenty of run in a Giants offense that is in serious need of a boost.
