McCarthy Leaves Giants-Eagles Game With Hip Injury

McCarthy was hurt early in the third quarter after keeping the ball on a run and taking a tackle from Eagles linebacker Zack Baun. He went to the sideline medical tent for an assessment before heading to the locker room with team trainers for further testing. The Giants listed him as questionable to return.

McCarthy tried to throw a pass on the sideline before leaving. He appeared to be in pain, clutched his side and went down as medical staff came to help him.

Winston took over at quarterback. He had started four games earlier in the season before McCarthy took the job. The Giants had scored six points when McCarthy exited; he completed nine of 13 passes for 101 yards and ran three times for 11 yards.

The injury adds to New York’s problems at quarterback. Starting quarterback Jaxson Dart suffered a season-ending torn ACL in Week 2. McCarthy’s availability could also affect the Giants’ plans ahead of Tuesday’s trade deadline, with the team considering whether to buy as it competes in the NFC East.
