Giants’ J.J. McCarthy exits with injury at Eagles (UPDATE)
The Giants are trying to strengthen their hold on the NFC East lead.
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback J.J. McCarthy suffered a hip injury during Sunday's game and exited the field with 17 seconds left in the third quarter. The Giants' Jaxson Dart had been benched in McCarthy's favor ahead of their pre-bye week matchup in Houston. McCarthy was seen slamming his helmet down on the bench before proceeding to the medical tent.
James Winston replaced McCarthy, who is currently listed as questionable to return. The Giants had been struggling in the first half, trailing 8-6 to the reeling Eagles, but went on to win the game in overtime after McCarthy's initial start. This is McCarthy's second start with the Giants.
