New York Giants visit the Washington Commanders as the longtime NFC East rivals each look for their 1st win
The New York Giants (0-1) head to Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland, on Sunday to take on their NFC East rivals, the Washington Commanders (0-1). It’s the home opener for Washington, which lost a lopsided road game to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week. New York got manhandled at home by the Minnesota Vikings a week ago. The Giants won’t have wide receiver Gunner Olszewski (groin), cornerback Nick McCloud (knee) or linebacker Darius Muasau (knee) on Sunday, while wide receiver Darius Slayton remains in concussion protocol but had a full practice on Friday. Commanders cornerback Emmanuel Forbes is out after surgery to repair a torn ligament in his thumb, while defensive tackles Clelin Ferrell (knee) and Jer’Zhan Newton (foot) and safety Quan Martin (hamstring) are questionable.
