Commanders vs. Giants live updates, inactives, where to watch: Cam Skattebo will play on ‘Thursday Night Football’ as Jayden Daniels seeks redemption

The Washington Commanders and New York Giants will open the Week 10 schedule with “Thursday Night Football” in their second of two meetings this season. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET from MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Their first meeting, in Week 5, ended with one of the most baffling (and regrettable) game sequences we’ve seen all season, as Jayden Daniels looked to lead Washington to an overtime victory by setting up the game-winning field goal attempt. But unfortunately for Washington, Drew Stevens never got a chance to kick, as Daniels took a disconcerting sack and the clock was reduced to 0:00, ending in a tie. The Commanders have had a lot to answer for since that mistake. At just 2-5-1 on the year, head coach Dan Quinn’s job could be on the line if they can’t pull off a key division win on Thursday night. With starting wide receiver Terry McLaurin out for the season with a knee injury, it will be an uphill battle, even in a division where three of four teams rank below .500. A win on Thursday night would go a long way in helping them start to dig themselves out of that hole. Meanwhile, the Giants have enjoyed more success since their last meeting with the Commanders, leading the NFC East at 5-2-1 with a different quarterback in the mix in JJ McCarthy. He enters Week 10 with a hip injury he suffered in last week’s win over the Philadelphia Eagles, but was listed as a full practice participant to close out the week, a positive sign for Thursday’s primetime matchup.

While it’s a disappointing drive, it’s worth noting the moment JJ ​​McCarthy squeezed Sonny Styles’ stiff arm before going out of bounds. Who knew I had it in me.

Linebacker Frankie Luvu lands the perfect hit, before Jeremy Reaves is there to dive for the ball. That’s a turnover that could change the game and deprive the Giants of a strong push. Friday, November 13, 2026 03:13 am UTC Kari Anderson Another dart from JJ McCarthy, as the quarterback finds Malachi Fields over the middle for a 16-yard gain through traffic. 2026 03:13 AM UTCKari AndersonMalik Nabers makes the route and catches it to receive a great pass from JJ McCarthy, as the pair gives the Giants a 37-yard gain. New York is trying to regain that lead.

Friday, November 13, 2026 02:58 am UTCKari Anderson Friday, November 13, 2026 02:54 am UTCKari AndersonThe Commanders’ first drive of the second half is not going very well. Jayden Daniels takes a huge 14-yard sack from Shelby Harris after failing on a second down. And then another false start penalty, Washington’s third of the game, puts the Commanders back half the distance to their own goal line. The team can’t get past third-and-28, forcing a quick and brutal three-and-out to start. Friday, November 13, 2026 02:49 am UTCKari Anderson The second half is underway!
