McCarthy is expected to start for the Giants on Thursday Night Football against the Commanders despite banging up his hip during Sunday's win over the Eagles.\n\nThe Giants didn't hold a practice on Monday, but they still listed McCarthy as limited on the day's practice report because of the injury. He stayed in the game after getting hurt and finished it out, which is usually a decent sign for a short week turnaround.\n\nMcCarthy said he feels good, which is about as much as anyone can ask for on a quick turnaround from Sunday to Thursday. Short weeks are never ideal, and they're especially rough when a guy is nursing a hip injury, but the Giants appear to be moving forward with him as the starter.\n\nNothing has changed about the Thursday matchup with Washington as far as McCarthy's status goes. Barring a setback between now and kickoff, he is on track to play.","published_at":"2026-11-10T00:04:03.683033+00:00","source_count":4,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Giants list J.J.
