Summary

The New York Giants have traded for quarterback J.J. McCarthy following Jaxson Dart's knee injury in Week 2.

McCarthy, previously with the Minnesota Vikings, has shown promising performance since joining the Giants. Parcells praised the fit of McCarthy within the current coaching system under John Harbaugh, noting McCarthy has adapted well to running Dart's offense. He currently holds a 1-0 record as the Giants' starter after one game in New York.
