J.J. McCarthy injury update: Latest news on Giants QB's status in Week 9 game
McCarthy was replaced by Jameis Winston after the injury, then briefly returned late in the third quarter as the Giants led 13-8.
On Sunday, New York Giants quarterback J.J. McCarthy suffered a hip injury during the third quarter against the Philadelphia Eagles after a hit from linebacker Zack Baun.
Acquired from the Minnesota Vikings in September, McCarthy was making his second start for the Giants after taking over for Jameis Winston.
McCarthy attempted to warm up on the sideline but collapsed in pain, forcing him to head to the locker room for evaluation.
Winston replaced McCarthy, leading a drive that included a 5-yard touchdown pass to Isaiah Likely, while McCarthy remarkably returned to the game later.
Eagles linebacker Baun also left the game with a back injury, and both teams labeled their respective players questionable to return.
