Jalen Hurts: ruled OUT for Week 6 (calf blood clot); Tanner McKee starts

Alvin Kamara: expected to play at the Giants despite the back issue
Kamara is questionable after three limited practices but is expected to play. His workload has been light lately, so he is a FLEX play with a fallback ready at inactives.
