Newly-acquired quarterback J.J. McCarthy is active on Sunday for the New York Giants against the Arizona Cardinals. It is uncertain whether McCarthy will be the No. 2 or No. 3 quarterback.<\/p>\n
The Giants elevated quarterback Jake Haener and edge defender Trace Ford from the practice squad for Sunday\u2019s game.<\/p>\n
Could the Giants have a package of plays in Sunday\u2019s game plan for McCarthy? Here is what offensive coordinator Matt Nagy said about that possibility earlier this week.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt depends. I think every quarterback\u2019s a little bit different,\u201d Nagy said. \u201cI think when you judge that process is, okay, what\u2019s most realistic to get him ready to be a backup, right? That\u2019s where you start, and that\u2019s where we\u2019re at, and that process takes some time. And there\u2019s a little bit of realization in knowing it\u2019s not going to happen in one or two days. I think that\u2019s 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?\u201d<\/p>\n
With no players on the 53-man roster missing the game due to injuries, the New York Giants have seven healthy scratches for Sunday\u2019s game against the Arizona Cardinals.<\/p>\n
Running back Devin Singletary is inactive, with Tyrone Tracy serving as the third back.<\/p>\n
Newly-signed outside linebacker Jihad Ward will be inactive. That is likely why the Giants elevated Ford from the practice squad.<\/p>\n
With cornerback Deonte Banks and safety Tyler Nubin back in action this week, safety Ar\u2019Darius Washington is inactive.<\/p>\n
