J.J. McCarthy’s running capability comes with cautionary caveat for Giants

J.J. McCarthy is set to take over as the Giants' starting quarterback, offering a more mobile threat than his predecessor Jameis Winston.

While his ability to extend plays could bolster a struggling ground game, team officials remain concerned about his history of physical setbacks, including a torn meniscus, a high ankle sprain, a concussion, and a hand fracture. Meanwhile, the team faces significant roster attrition as linebacker Tremaine Edmunds is sidelined for the remainder of the year with a shoulder injury.

Micah McFadden is slated to step into the starting lineup to fill the void left by Edmunds. Additionally, the Giants will be without safety Jevón Holland due to a concussion and tight end Theo Johnson because of a neck issue.

Fullback Patrick Ricard expressed frustration over the team's recent inability to generate rushing yards, emphasizing the need for improved performance on the ground.
