J.J. McCarthy Could Serve As Giants Backup QB In Week 5

New York Giants head coach John Harbaugh stated it is a possibility that newly acquired quarterback J.J. McCarthy could serve as the primary backup behind Jameis Winston in Week 5 against Washington. Acquired from Minnesota following Jaxson Dart's season-ending injury for a 2027 fifth-round pick, McCarthy was active in Week 4 for specific packages as the team fast-forwards his learning curve to compete for the No. 2 job.
