Giants Defeat Eagles 19-11 After QB J.J. McCarthy Returns Briefly From Hip Injury

New York Giants quarterback J.J. McCarthy left the Week 9 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles with a hip injury after a direct shot to his side by Eagles linebacker Zack Baun.

McCarthy, who was nine-of-13 passing for 101 yards at the time, re‑entered the game with less than 20 seconds remaining in the third quarter while New York held a 13-8 lead.

On the Giants’ second play of the third quarter, McCarthy scrambled up the left side before Baun drilled his right shoulder, prompting his quick replacement by veteran backup Jameis Winston.

Winston then engineered a 14‑play, 76‑yard touchdown drive, culminating in a 5‑yard pass to Isaiah Likely that extended the lead to 13-8.

The Giants maintained the advantage and secured a 19-11 victory at Lincoln Financial Field.
