NFC Notes: Tanner McKee, J.J. McCarthy, Cowboys, Eagles, Giants

Former Browns head coach Mike Pettine has joined the Dallas Cowboys to assist defensive coordinator Christian Parker. Meanwhile, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Tanner McKee is preparing for his first start following a season-ending injury to starter Jalen Hurts. In New York, Giants head coach John Harbaugh addressed questions regarding a potential quarterback switch between veteran starter Jameis Winston and J.J. McCarthy after McCarthy nearly led a comeback on Sunday.

Pettine stated his role will involve game planning and providing an extra set of eyes on game days to support Parker. For the Eagles, McKee expressed readiness to capitalize on first-team practice repetitions, while Harbaugh declined to commit to naming McCarthy the starter over Winston immediately following the Giants' loss.
