The New York Giants are currently gearing up for their upcoming home matchup against the Washington Commanders on Thursday Night Football. The Giants are coming off a comfortable road win over the Philadelphia Eagles over the weekend, marking the team's first win in the city since 2013.
Running back Cam Skattebo did not play in that game, and quarterback JJ McCarthy briefly exited at one point before returning, and now, the team has gotten the latest update on its young offensive duo before the Commanders matchup.
“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. Only Giants player not at practice was rookie CB Colton Hood, who left with a trainer at the start,” reported NFL insider Jordan Raanan of ESPN NFL Nation on X, formerly Twitter.
It's certainly a good sign as the Giants prepare to further increase their lead in the wretched NFC East on Thursday. Jameis Winston briefly entered the game on Sunday in Philadelphia after McCarthy went down, but the 2026 trade acquisition was able to return to the contest and play relatively well down the stretch to lead the Giants to the win.
Meanwhile, Skattebo didn't play at all on the field where he suffered a gruesome ankle injury last year but appears poised to return to the lineup for Thursday's game against the Commanders.
In any case, kickoff between Washington and New York is slated for Thursday evening at 8:15 pm ET from MetLife Stadium.
