J.J. McCarthy, Cam Skattebo have no injury designations for Thursday night

Published November 11, 2026 04:29 PM The Giants opened the week with confidence that quarterback J.J. McCarthy and running back Cam Skattebo would be ready to play against the Commanders on Thursday night and nothing changed on that front over the last couple of days. Neither McCarthy nor Skattebo received an injury designation on Wednesday, which leaves both of them on track to play as the Giants try to improve to 6-2-1 on the season. McCarthy briefly left last Sunday’s win over the Eagles with a hip injury, but returned for the fourth quarter and moved up to a full practice listing on Tuesday. Skattebo missed the Eagles game with the hamstring injury he suffered in Week 7 and also moved up to full participation the last two days. Linebacker Malik Harrison is the only Giants player with a designation. He’s questionable to play due to a groin injury.
