Giants' John Harbaugh gets candid on 'shock sandwich' in first season | Exclusive
The Giants traded for QB J.J McCarthy after Jaxson Dart's season-ending injury. Coach John Harbaugh addressed the possibility of McCarthy starting.
John Harbaugh, the first-year coach of the New York Giants, addressed the uncertainty surrounding their quarterback situation in an exclusive interview with USA TODAY Sports. The Giants are currently relying on Jameis Winston as their starter, after Jaxson Dart suffered a season-ending knee injury and Brian Burns went down with a torn ACL.
The arrival of J.J. McCarthy, a former first-round pick from the Minnesota Vikings, has only added to the speculation. Harbaugh emphasized that Jameis Winston will be their starter for the upcoming game against the Arizona Cardinals, but he left the door open for J.J. McCarthy and Jake Haener to contribute. McCarthy, who joined the Giants just four days ago, has been learning the team's offense, while Haener has been with the team for a few weeks.
The coach stressed that the team's focus remains on winning games, regardless of the quarterback situation.
