McCarthy being QB2 means we could see him in certain packages on Sunday.
Running back Devin Singletary will be inactive for a third straight week for the Giants.
The Commanders get quarterback Jayden Daniels and wide receiver Terry McLaurin back from injury. They will, though, be without wide receiver Stefon Diggs and a trio of safeties. Nick Cross, Percy Butler, and Tyler Owens will all miss the game.
