Giants QB J.J. McCarthy leaves game vs. Eagles early after taking shot to his shoulder
Jameis Winston came in to replace J.J. McCarthy early in the second half on Sunday afternoon in Philadelphia.
New York Giants quarterback J.J. McCarthy exited the game against the Philadelphia Eagles early on Sunday due to a shot to his shoulder. The quarterback took a hit directly to his throwing shoulder on the team's second play of the third quarter. McCarthy scrambled a few yards up the left side, but as he lowered his right shoulder to the ground, it was forcefully impacted by Eagles linebacker Zack Baun.
Following the incident, McCarthy was swiftly replaced by backup quarterback Jameis Winston, who stepped onto the field. The injury to McCarthy's shoulder appeared to be significant, as he exhibited considerable discomfort and frustration on the sidelines. He dropped to the ground in agony, slammed his helmet down, and even expressed his displeasure by slamming it onto the bench.
The extent of McCarthy's injury is yet to be determined, and further updates will be provided in due course.
