Giants’ QB J.J. McCarthy is active for game vs. Cardinals

The Giants elevated quarterback Jake Haener and edge defender Trace Ford from the practice squad for Sunday's game.

Could the Giants have a package of plays in Sunday's game plan for McCarthy? Here is what offensive coordinator Matt Nagy said about that possibility earlier this week.

"It depends. I think every quarterback's a little bit different," Nagy said. "I think when you judge that process is, okay, what's most realistic to get him ready to be a backup, right? That's where you start, and that's where we're at, and that process takes some time. And there's a little bit of realization in knowing it's not going to happen in one or two days. I think that's only fair, but we just got to see each and every day how much can he handle, and then we continue to throw more and more at him, and then we got to make our own judgment on, now, what is he doing on the field, and where does that take him as a number two or number three?"
