Former Eagles 2nd round pick WR J.J. Arcega-Whiteside among today's inactives for Philly.
A couple Giants insights:
- Team turnover is constant. On special teams, CB Corey Ballentine played 15 snaps last week & LB T.J. Brunson logged 12. Ballentine was released; Brunson is inactive.
- On O-line, Judge intends to rotate 3 offensive tackles & three guards thru game.
- Giants defense played a lot of 5/6/7 DB looks vs Eagles in their last meeting, likely will again. But they are shorthanded in the secondary. Yiadom (calf) is playing thru an injury. They need him to stay healthy just for their numbers' sakes.
- Wentz (16) and Jones (13) are 1 and 2 in turnovers this season. Both QBs fortunate, then, perhaps, that rain today appears to be holding off until the 5 o'clock hour. Doesn't mean their won't be giveaways, though. Giants D 2nd in NFL forcing 15 so far.
- One more thing to watch: Giants corner Madre Harper put a pretty nasty late special teams hit on DeSean Jackson the last time these teams played. Jackson hurt on the play. Harper got into it with Eagles after. Something to keep an eye on. 45 in your programs.

BREAKING: William Dean, attorney for three of DeAndre Baker's four alleged victims, has been arrested in Broward County (Fla.) and is facing an "extortion charge" connected to the armed robbery case involving Baker and Quinton Dunbar.
This casts doubt about whether the case against ex-Giant DeAndre Baker will continue. Investigators say Dean was attempting to extort Baker, wanted Baker to pay each of his clients more than $266,000, and, in exchange, the victims in the case would oblige in turn ...
Vics would either stop cooperating with prosecutors in the case or change their initial sworn statements to police, thereby weakening the case against Baker. Evidence reveals Dean told Baker’s attorney his clients would do “anything you want, so long as the money is right.”
