The Giants host the 49ers at MetLife Stadium, with Big Blue — one week after Cam Skattebo’s gruesome injury — trying to keep hope for the year alive.

The New York Giants play host to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday in a battle of teams missing multiple star players on both sides of the ball.

Since the injury avalanche hit the 49ers have managed to keep their heads above water and not suffer any bad losses. After losing in Week 8 to the Houston Texans on the road, the spotlight gets a little brighter for a group that has been pushed into bigger roles with a handful of injuries for San Francisco on both sides of the ball.

Christian McCaffrey caught a touchdown pass from Mac Jones, rushed for another score and the San Francisco 49ers got back on track by running all over the New York Giants on the way to a 34-24 victory.

Without directly saying so, San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan hinted on Wednesday that Week 1 starting quarterback Brock Purdy could remain sidelined due to a lingering toe injury for this Sunday's game between the 5-3 49ers and 2-6 New York Giants at MetLife Stadium.

While we watch the Dodgers and Blue Jays play in the World Series, there are notes that the San Francisco Giants and Buster Posey should be taking to return to the Fall Classic.
