PHILADELPHIA — It’s not the best time for the Giants to have a short week of preparation before a Thursday night game.
Quarterback J.J. McCarthy limped through the final 16 minutes of Sunday’s win against the Eagles after suffering a hip injury that sidelined him for most of the third quarter.
“I feel good,” McCarthy said afterward. “It’s a physical game, and a lot of guys are banged up, but we’re going to do our best to make sure we turn over as fast as possible and do whatever we can between now and [Thursday] and make sure we’re as close to 100 percent leading up to a great opponent against Washington.”
McCarthy was injury-plagued in two years with the Vikings, including missing his entire rookie season in 2024.
He ran out of the locker room to slap hands with his teammates.
“It was my first time running full speed and trying to get it going,” McCarthy said.
The Giants will have one full practice Tuesday.
“We weren’t pushing him back out there,” head coach John Harbaugh said. “He was able to play, but he insisted on playing.
