OCT 1 – THE AGELESS JASON PETERS – The New York Giants just cannot seem to get away from legendary offensive tackle Jason Peters. After 11 years as a stalwart for the Philadelphia Eagles, Peters spent the 2022 season with the Dallas Cowboys. Now, he’s a step closer to seeing the Giants again.
On Tuesday, the Seattle Seahawks signed Peters to their practice squad, per Tom Pelissero .

Perhaps more notable is how impressive it is that Peters is still playing NFL football. Peters is 42 and now in his 21st season in the NFL. Whether or not he plays, that is one hell of an accomplishment.
SEPT 29 – SHEP ASSIST – The New York Giants are always down to watch the Philadelphia Eagles lose football games. On Sunday, they got some help from one of their own. Former Giants receiver Sterling Shepard – who was elevated from the Tampa Bay practice squad on Saturday – caught three passes for 51 yards against a porous Philadelphia secondary.
His first catch went for 18 yards on 2nd-and-12, extending a drive that would culminate in a field goal. He also hauled in a 30-yard catch on another field goal drive – the game’s final score. The Buccaneers won, 33-16, advancing to 3-1 and sending the Eagles to 2-2.
New York will host Philadelph.
