With Jaxson Dart<\/a> out for the season, the New York Giants<\/a> have made their move to add to the quarterback room.<\/p>\n

ESPN reports the team has acquired J.J. McCarthy<\/a> from the Minnesota Vikings<\/a> for a fifth-round selection in 2027.<\/p>\n

McCarthy, 23, was the 10th overall selection of the 2024 NFL Draft out of Michigan, but had fallen to third-string pivot behind starter Kyler Murray<\/a> and backup Carson Wentz<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A native of Evanston, IL, McCarthy will now provide competition to veteran Jameis Winston<\/a>, who started Sunday\u2019s 12-7 win over the Tennessee Titans<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After missing the entirety of his rookie season through a knee injury incurred during preseason, McCarthy appeared in 10 games last season. He threw for 1,632 yards on 140-for-243 passing with 11 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. He would also miss time with an ankle sprain, concussion and a broken bone in his hand.<\/p>\n

Second-year QB Dart tore his meniscus in his knee and also incurred a significant MCL injury in the team\u2019s 28-6 loss to the Los Angeles Rams<\/a> last week. The hits kept coming for the Giants with the loss of star linebacker Brian Burns<\/a> to a suspected torn ACL in the win over the Titans on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The Giants (2-1) return to action on Sunday with a visit from the Arizona Cardinals<\/a> (1-2).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With Jaxson Dart out for the season, the New York Giants have made their move to add to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":913210,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[712,49,48,80983,88629,82],"class_list":["post-913209","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-apple-news","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-minnesota-vikings-sports-football-team-team-statscom-347","tag-new-york-giants-sports-football-team-team-statscom-351","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/913209","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=913209"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/913209\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/913210"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=913209"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=913209"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=913209"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
