Giants QB J.J. McCarthy is out of the game after a big hit vs. Eagles
It has been a tough day at the office for New York Giants quarterback J.J. McCarthy.
McCarthy was rocked on a hit in the first half, as he tried to spin away from pressure but turned right into the path of pass rusher Jonathan Grennard:
While McCarthy returned to the game after that brutal hit, he was not as lucky after a play early in the second half. He took this vicious blow to the side on a running play, and was down on the turf for an extended period:
McCarthy tried to got through a throwing routine on the sideline after exiting the game, but “fell to the ground in pain as he attempted to throw the ball on the sideline” per Jordan Raanan:
Here is that moment:
McCarthy was then taken to the blue medical tent, and eventually the locker room.
He has been replaced by Jameis Winston.
Update: New York listed him as questionable to return with a hip injury.
