J.J. McCarthy exits Eagles game after big hit in major Giants injury worry

New York Giants quarterback J.J. McCarthy returned to action against the Philadelphia Eagles after briefly exiting with a hip injury. McCarthy sustained the injury on a tackle by Zack Baun early in the third quarter following a 3-yard run. After being examined in the medical tent and locker room, he came back just before the end of the quarter.

While McCarthy was evaluated, backup quarterback Jameis Winston took over and threw a go-ahead touchdown pass to Isaiah Likely. McCarthy's quick return averted a potential crisis for the Giants, who had already lost quarterback Jaxson Dart to a season-ending torn ACL in Week 2.
