McCarthy suffered hip injury but plans to play Thursday vs. fourth-worst pass defense.

McCarthy was a popular waiver wire addition for managers looking for help at the position after multiple starters got hurt. He played well through the first three quarters before a hip injury forced Jameis Winston into action. He returned later in the game, and after the game, he told beat reporters he plans to play in Week 10. McCarthy won't have much time to recover, with the Giants playing Washington on Thursday Night Football. The Commanders rank as the fourth-worst pass defense in the NFL, giving up 240 yards through the air each contest.
