Story summary

Paulson Adebo of the New York Giants returned to practice on Wednesday for the first time since being placed on injured reserve due to a knee injury sustained in the season's opening game. The cornerback, who is in the second year of a three-year, $54 million deal, missed four games after initially being sidelined and has sat out five consecutive games before this return. Adebo’s comeback could see him back on the field as soon as Sunday when the Giants face the Houston Texans.

However, the team's defensive secondary remains depleted with Jevon Holland (concussion) and Greg Newsome II (concussion) also missing practice Wednesday. Rookie cornerback Colton Hood returned to practice after sitting out due to a concussion in Sunday’s loss against Jacksonville. Additionally, linebacker Tremaine Edmunds missed practice because of a shoulder injury.

The Giants will be challenged by the Texans this weekend as quarterback C.J. Stroud is performing well recently, especially following their last game where they showed significant offensive prowess against Jacksonville.

🔮 John Harbaugh said McCarthy, who sparked a rally in the fourth quarter that fell just short Sunday against the Saints when he replaced Jameis Winston, would remain under center this week against the Texans.
🔮 The defense also might be impacted by a shoulder injury to LB Tremaine Edmunds, who also missed practice.
🔮 There will be no more talk about the 53-year drought without a title or questions about which star or coach or general manager might finally get the Knicks over the hump.
🔮 A week after the Jets sacked Cleveland’s Deshaun Watson eight times, they were unable to come up with any against New England quarterback Drake Maye in a 26-19 loss Sunday.
🔮 tRY IT NOWHero Drake Maye was 18-for-32 for 235 yards and threw three touchdowns in the win without a turnover.
🔮 Injuries to Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto didn’t help and despite playing better for part of May, a six-game losing streak in June sealed Mendoza’s fate and he was fired after a June 25 loss to the Cubs.
🔮 This one feels a little different, as not only could the Yankees not catch the small-payroll Rays in the AL East, they were swept out of the ALDS by their divisional foes.
🔮 Try it freeThat may be what the 2026 Yankee season will most be remembered for, as Judge was forced to miss such a sizable chunk of the regular season due to a fractured rib that cost him over three months and then the strained calf that prevented him from playing in the postseason.
🔮 With his Yankees future very much in doubt after this season — when he was playing on the qualifying offer following his 34-homer year in 2025 — the Yankees were willing to end their season with the lefty-swinging Grisham getting the most plate appearances in an elimination game.
🔮 The real issue the Yankees had against their AL East rivals, whom they couldn’t catch in the division and proved to be no match for in the playoffs, was their lineup.
