With the New York Giants taking on the Washington Commanders on Thursday night in Week 10, the team would get some huge news regarding the injuries to running back Cam Skattebo and quarterback J.J. McCarthy. The latest injury updates for the Giants on Skattebo and McCarthy seem to indicate that fans should expect the two on the field in the key NFC East battle on primetime.
According to ESPN's NFL insider Adam Schefter, both Skattebo and McCarthy are “good to go” for the Thursday night clash against the Commanders, as the two do not have any injury designation for the contest.
“Giants RB Cam Skattebo (hamstring) and QB JJ McCarthy (hip) have no injury status designation for Thursday night and are good to go vs. the Commanders,” Schefter wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
Skattebo had been dealing with a nagging hamstring injury since the Oct. 25 victory against the Houston Texans, 27-21, whereas McCarthy harbored a hip injury that he sustained last Sunday in the 19-11 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. The two offensive pieces for New York had been progressing as they practiced on Wednesday.
“J.J. McCarthy (hip) and Cam Skattebo (hamstring) practicing as coach John Harbaugh expected. Good sign with game on Thursday night vs. Commanders and this being the only practice of week,” Jordan Raanan of ESPN wrote on X Tuesday. “Only Giants player not at practice was rookie CB Colton Hood, who left with a trainer at the start.”
At any rate, Skattebo and McCarthy look to help the Giants get their third straight win on Sunday against the Commanders, as the team is 5-2-1 and currently leading the NFC East.
