This is well done. One of the biggest critiques of J.J. McCarthy in Minnesota was his ability to get through progressions. Will likely determine whether he's a success this season with Giants.
Free event. Gonna be a blast. Need everyone to come out.
QB J.J. McCarthy (hip) and RB Cam Skattebo (hamstring) don't have injury designations for Thursday night vs Commanders.
Only LB Malik Harrison (groin) is questionable.
The Giants tried hard to make a deal. They even made a call to the Falcons on Bijan Robinson.

The Giants were short on picks and prices were high. Their in-season addition was QB J.J. McCarthy from the Minnesota Vikings for a fifth-round pick. Also used their fourth to get WR Malachi Fields in the draft.
John Harbaugh on the possibility of adding a playmaker in the next hour:
"I'd be excited ... for the right guy."
Malik Nabers said he had to speak up for himself about the perceived bad body language. Who else is going to do it?
Nabers said it was "not true" that he's a bad teammate. And his body language hasn't affected the team.
Nabers is open to speaking to Fox broadcaster Greg Olsen if he wants to call.
From the Colts side this morning:
J.J. McCarthy (hip) and Cam Skattebo (hamstring) practicing as coach John Harbaugh expected. Good sign with game on Thursday night vs. Commanders and this being the only practice of week.
Only Giants player not at practice was rookie CB Colton Hood, who left with a trainer at the start.
The Giants are trying to make a trade. Add reinforcements. But there is a price for everything. It has to make sense.
Replying to @JordanRaanan
How are you gonna do nothing. Just get rid of the draft picks and fill holes. Just worry shout free agency next year. Get rid of some draft picks in the next draft then.
Didn't get the sense there was anything close to a deal for the #Giants as of this morning. Less than five hours to see how this unfolds. Deadlines spur action.
Giants (5-2-1) are in first place in the NFC East. They have a 2.5-game lead.
Don't believe that is true. Doesn't appear a 2 & 5 (which btw would be '28) is anywhere near enough.
Multiple executives around the league told me in the past 24 hours the Colts don't appear all that interested in moving Taylor. And would be "surprised" if he were moved at this point unless it were for a monster haul.
Replying to @JordanRaanan
It sounded like the colts put Taylor back in play for the 2 & 5 Harbaugh offered so are they just not going to do it now for ego sake @JordanRaanan ?
The trade deadline is 4 p.m. this afternoon. If Monday showed us anything, prices are high. Jaguars had to really pay for deals.
The Giants have been active making calls and are trying to add to roster. DT and RB remain the most likely options.
But as John Harbaugh said Sunday, they know where they are as a team. Don't want to overpay. Already used their 4th and 5th-round picks in deals.
Making a big trade by this afternoon is going to be difficult and seems unlikely.
So what? Any trade the Giants make is about the remainder of the season and likely next year as well. This week has no bearing on anything. They have a 2.5-game lead in the division.
I would say anything is on the table tomorrow until 4 p.m.
Replying to @JordanRaanan
Jordan, is it safe to say that if no deal is completed for J. Taylor tonight, that the @Giants aren't gonna do it?
If the trade doesn't happen til tomorrow he'd likely be unavailable Thursday night I would think.
J.J. McCarthy would have been considered a limited participant in practice today.
