Giants RB Saquon Barkley (ankle) and WR Sterling Shepard (quad) will miss Week 9 against the Las Vegas Raiders. RB Gary Brightwell (COVID) and WRs Kenny Golladay (knee) and John Ross (quad) are questionable for Week 9.

Just gross all around. The Giants offense is a mess and the hope is injuries stop being an issue.

Giants RB Saquon Barkley (ankle, COVID) and WRs Sterling Shepard (quad), Kenny Golladay (knee), and Dante Pettis (shoulder) sat out Wednesday's practice. WR Kadarius Toney (thumb) was limited.

Gross. Tough to pick a player to roster from this offense until Friday's final injury report is out.

Giants WR Sterling Shepard (quad) is expected to miss time, including Week 8 against the Las Vegas Raiders. The Giants have a Week 9 bye.

Injuries continue to plague the Giants skill positions. John Ross and Collin Johnson stand to benefit the most in three-wide sets assuming Shepard, Saquon Barkley, and Kenny Golladay miss Week 8.

The Cleveland Browns have no plans on trading Odell Beckham Jr. by today’s trade deadline, per sources.

Russini went on to say in the tweet that she was told there haven’t been any offers that would make sense for the organization. Beckham doesn't appear to be part of the game plan for the Browns at this point, yet the organization doesn't look like they want to just give him away for a price that they don't feel is fair.

Wide receivers Dante Pettis, Sterling Shepard, and Kadarius Toney all got hurt during the game. Toney was able to return, but Pettis’ shoulder injury and Shepard’s quad injury ended their nights.

Shepard, early on in the season, was a big piece in the offense, but he missed three games with hamstring injuries already this season and head coach Joe Judge was left to hope that this injury won’t lead to further absences, the story said, but the team didn't have any other information. Toney was able to return to the game after injuring his thumb. The Giants face the Raiders at home in Week 9 before hitting their bye week so it's possible the team isn't rushing anyone back next week.

Per multiple reports, receivers Sterling Shepard and Kadarius Toney are expected to play against the chiefs.

New York listed Shepard as questionable with a hamstring injury and Toney as questionable with an ankle injury. Shepard was a limited participant in all three of the week’s practices. Toney didn’t practice on Thursday, but was limited on Friday and Saturday. Shepard and Toney should be the top-two options with Darius Slayton also in the mix. The Giants will be without top option Kenny Golladay tonight.

Browns QB Baker Mayfield (torn left labrum and shoulder fracture) received medical clearance last night to play and is expected to start Sunday.

Mayfield has full range of motion in the shoulder, which helped with him being cleared. It is going to be tough to trust that his health can remain on the up and up for the rest of the season, but the Browns are willing to risk it for the biscuit.

According to a source close to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, shutting down Mayfield for the season is not a prevailing theme as they prepare for Steelers. More about whether they can get swelling to subside before Sunday.

This seems like a lot of work to put a band-aid over a bullet wound. Mayfield is one wrong hit away from major surgery, but with the playoffs a realistic option in 2021, the Browns would rather have 75% of Mayfield than Case Keenum.

Giants RB Saquon Barkley (ankle) and WRs Kenny Golladay (knee), Sterling Shepard (hamstring), and Kadarius Toney (ankle) all made appearances at practice Wednesday, albeit stretching in what is a walkthrough according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN.

The offense performed okay minus this group Week 7, but having some/all of them back for Week 8's tilt in Kansas City would be a boost against one of the worst defenses in football.
