The Giants quarterback left in the second quarter after a hit from Jonathan Grennard and was replaced by Jameis Winston.
J.J. McCarthy's day in Philadelphia ended early. The Giants quarterback was shaken up in the first half on a hit from Eagles pass rusher Jonathan Grennard, who caught him as he tried to spin away from pressure. McCarthy stayed in the game after that collision, but by the second quarter he was done, heading to the locker room with what the team is now describing as a hip injury.
Before leaving, McCarthy had completed 9-of-13 passes for 101 yards and added three carries for 11 yards on the ground. Jameis Winston took over under center in his absence.
There was a brief moment of hope for New York when video surfaced of McCarthy throwing on the sideline, but the Giants have not given a clear update on whether he could return to this game. For now, Winston is the man running the offense against Philadelphia.
The injury adds to what has already been a bumpy stretch at quarterback for the Giants this season, with the team again forced to turn to its backup mid-game. McCarthy's status beyond Sunday remains unclear.
