Quick Summary

Quarterback J.J. McCarthy expressed optimism about his condition despite a hip injury, stating he feels good and intends to play for his team on short notice against Washington. After running full speed during practice, which was his first time doing so since sustaining the injury, McCarthy emphasized his readiness to participate in the upcoming game. The team will have one full practice session on Tuesday before the match. Coach John Harbaugh noted that while they were cautious about pushing McCarthy back into action too quickly, the quarterback insisted on playing.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.

The Giants will have one full practice Tuesday.
Winston’s game-saving cameo was important because the Giants were completely unable to run the ball without the injured duo of Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy Jr. Will that prompt John Harbaugh and Joe Schoen to meet the Colts’ asking price of a first-round pick (or the multi-pick equivalent) for Jonathan Taylor before Tuesday?
“I got hit on one of the touchdowns and didn’t know that Jalen [Nailor] scored, but I could hear our Raiders fans,” Cousins added.
Under different circumstances, the career-best performances by Braelon Allen and Adonai Mitchell could be celebrated as the Jets developing playmakers to complement Garrett Wilson.
Tanking would make sense — if the Colts hadn’t previously traded their first-round pick to the Jets.
If John Harbaugh were picking between two Michigan-bred quarterbacks this week, the Giants would start J.J. McCarthy over Tom Brady.
Edmunds will go from logging every defensive snap in the first six games to missing every snap in the final 11, The Post confirmed, after he was injured late in last week’s game against the Saints.
Maybe it’s time for the NFL to change its logo to include a player’s hand punching at the football that sits atop the shield.
“Maybe now 20 percent of that 30 that was gone is back,” Nagy said before Thursday’s practice.
McCarthy’s last pass — on fourth-and-1 from the 14-yard line with 12 seconds remaining — fell incomplete or else the Giants would’ve had a chance to win the game or send it to overtime despite trailing 34-10 when the quarterback change was made with 11:36 to go.
