Giants seek rushing fix before Texans clash

The Giants enter their matchup with Houston looking to recover from a loss to New Orleans and address an unsettled offense. J.J. McCarthy is set to start after sparking a late comeback, but New York will need a more effective rushing attack to support him; Cam Skattebo’s playing time has fallen sharply after costly fumbles, leaving him, Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary competing for carries following Najee Harris’s release. On defense, the Giants must contend with C.J. Stroud and the expected return of Tank Dell, while deciding how to generate pressure without leaving too much space behind the secondary. One proposed approach is to use varied two-high coverage looks and keep safety Jevon Holland in position to help against deep passes, though doing so could make it harder to contain Houston’s running game.
