Jaxson Dart sparked the Giants in a 34-17 Thursday night upset of the Eagles, delivering crisp passes and a rushing score as New York’s defense stifled Hurts. Philly’s offense looked out of rhythm, the run game stalled, and the home crowd roared as the Giants showed real growth. The win rekindles wild-card chatter in New York and hints at a potential NFC East revival with a young core around Dart, Nabers, Skattebo and Abdul Carter. Daboll deserves credit for the resurgence.

Philadelphia’s Jalen Carter sat out pregame at MetLife and looks unlikely for Thursday vs. the Giants, while Nakobe Dean is activated for the first time this season. Landon Dickerson is out Week 6 and Grant Calcaterra is also sidelined. For New York, Swayze Bozeman, Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles and Darius Slayton are ruled out; Tyrone Tracy will play after a shoulder injury. Malik Nabers remains out for the Saints with an ACL tear.

Jalen Carter will miss the Eagles' Thursday night tilt with the Giants due to a heel injury, boosting the need for interior disruption from Philadelphia and elevating the role of Nakobe Dean after he was activated. Landon Dickerson is out, Grant Calcaterra is sidelined, and the Giants enter with multiple absences including Bozeman, Flannigan-Fowles, and Slayton. Tyrone Tracy is active for New York, while Malik Nabers remains out with an ACL injury. The injury tableau reshapes fantasy projections for both defenses and key playmakers.

Week 6 Thursday Night Football features a Giants-Eagles tilt with a long list of inactives. Giants: Bozeman, Flanningan-Fowles, Slayton, Neal, Elijah Garcia, James Hudson III, and Jameis Winston are out or emergency QB. Eagles: Calcaterra, Dickerson, Carter, Mac Jones, Gipson, and Howell are inactive. The absences compress depth charts, elevating backups across LB, OL, WR, and TE slots and shaping how both offenses approach the game on a short-week stage.
