JJ McCarthy exits Eagles-Giants game with injury, in visible pain on sideline

New York Giants quarterback JJ McCarthy exited Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles following a hard hit to his right side and throwing shoulder from linebacker Zack Baun. McCarthy showed visible discomfort while testing his arm on the sideline and briefly retreated to the locker room as Jameis Winston replaced him. McCarthy later returned to the contest late in the third quarter with the Giants leading 13-8.

Prior to leaving the field, McCarthy completed nine of 13 passes for 101 yards. The former Michigan standout joined New York in late September via a trade from the Minnesota Vikings in exchange for a 2027 fifth-round draft pick.
