Summary
J.J. McCarthy returned as a full participant Tuesday after a hip injury, giving the Giants a boost ahead of Thursday night’s NFC East tiebreaker with Washington.
Cam Skattebo also practiced fully with a hamstring issue, while Colton Hood was limited after dislocating a finger in practice and Abdul Carter and Malik Harrison remained limited.
John Harbaugh called the game “for all the marbles” because a win would push New York to 3-0-1 in the division and 1-0-1 against the Commanders.
The Giants are on a 5-day turnaround after their first win in Philadelphia since 2013, and Harbaugh said the staff used the bye week and this short week to build the plan.
Less than an hour before the 4 p.m. trade deadline, Harbaugh signaled restraint, saying any move had to clearly improve the roster rather than be a 50-50 call.
