Washington coach Dan Quinn’s job security remains tied to the team’s performance, while the Commanders get several players back at practice. In New York, the Giants are encouraged by running back Cam Skattebo’s outlook after an overtime scare and are sticking with rookie kicker Dominic Svada.

By the Numbers
  • Skattebo’s overtime run covered 42 yards.
  • The Giants’ three running backs each scored in Week 7.
Yes, But

Washington’s Week 6 showing against San Francisco reportedly helped Quinn, but that job security could fade if the team doesn’t string together more strong performances. Meanwhile, Javon Kinlaw’s recovery from a knee injury is progressing more slowly than hoped.

State of Play
  • Marcus Mariota, Treylon Burks and Charles Omenihu are returning to Commanders practice.
  • Skattebo felt something during his run, but early indications suggest he should be fine for the Giants’ upcoming bye.
  • Coach John Harbaugh says the Giants won’t bring in other kickers despite Svada’s struggles.
What's Next

Washington’s results will remain central to Quinn’s outlook for the rest of the season. The Giants will monitor Skattebo through the bye and continue backing Svada.

Bottom Line

Washington needs sustained improvement to secure its coach’s future, while New York is choosing patience—with Skattebo’s health and its rookie kicker.
