The New York Giants are 5-2-1 following their big Week 9 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. While the Eagles are falling apart, that defense can still be challenging. J.J. McCarthy and Jameis Winston were under pressure often in this one.

In the win over the Eagles, McCarthy left the game after a big collision with linebacker Zack Baun, with both heading to the locker room. McCarthy's injury was revealed to be a hip injury after the game, and there is some concern about his health going forward.

However, as ESPN's Adam Schefter shared, Giants head coach John Harbaugh revealed McCarthy should be good to go for the team's Week 10 matchup against the Washington Commanders.

Giants get good news on J.J. McCarthy for Week 10 matchup after injury scare

"Giants QB J.J. McCarthy suffered a hip pointer during Sunday's win in Philadelphia, but the team is confident that he will be ready for Thursday night's game vs. Washington," Schefter reports.

This big report that came from Harbaugh's Monday morning press conference is a huge sigh of relief for the Giants coming off a big win over the Eagles.

McCarthy, who's taken over the QB1 job from Winston after he took over following Jaxson Dart's season-ending injury, is in line to start in Week 10 vs. the Commanders.

Of course, what makes this a bit trickier for the Giants and McCarthy is that their Week 10 matchup happens to fall on Thursday night, giving them a much shorter turnaround for their QB to be good to go.

While he did return to the game and helped the Giants close out the Eagles, since it's a short week for McCarthy, there is some worry about how he'll fare.

But as of Monday, it seems likely McCarthy will get the start in Week 10 against the NFC East rival Commanders for Thursday Night Football two days after the 2026 NFL trade deadline on Tuesday.
