If there is one game Jerome McDougle wants to be activated for, this is it. The former first-round pick of the Eagles was cut by them just before the season, landing with the Giants to provide depth on the defensive line. He's been inactive for five games and played sparingly in three.

"I'm probably going to be playing at some point here," he said. "It's a long season and I'm going to be ready whenever they call."

McDougle will make his first trip to Lincoln Financial Field as a visiting player. "I talked with a couple guys who have been through it," he said. " Darwin Walker was like, 'It's weird going into the visitors' locker room.' You spend so much time there, it's kind of weird, but that's the nature of the beast. That's the NFL."
