McCarthy was on the field for five plays against the Washington Commanders. McCarthy's longest run was 2 yards, and the only successful play — a screen pass to Malik Nabers — was wiped out by penalty. 'We like that package.'

McCarthy's package role continues despite 5-play, 2-yard debut; Nagy prioritizes full QB development.

McCarthy was deployed in a specialized change-of-pace package against Washington, appearing on five plays with a longest run of 2 yards; his only successful play (screen pass to Malik Nabers) was negated by penalty. Nagy confirmed the Giants intend to continue the package despite limited early success, stating 'we like that package' and emphasizing McCarthy must learn the full offense as a quarterback, not just as a package player, while balancing practice reps with starter Jameis Winston.
