## Key points

- McCarthy practised fully after suffering a hip pointer.
- He is set for his first Giants home start on Thursday.
- Several teammates had updated practice statuses.

## Summary

J.J. McCarthy took part fully in the Giants’ Tuesday practice, easing doubts about his availability after a hip pointer in Sunday’s win over the Eagles. Head coach John Harbaugh said McCarthy looked good, and the quarterback said he felt well ahead of his first home start for New York, against Washington on Thursday.

The injury had caused McCarthy to fall during warm-ups, miss a 14-play series for treatment and limp late in the game. Rookie cornerback Colton Hood dislocated a finger at practice but Harbaugh said he would be fine; Abdul Carter and Malik Harrison were limited, while Charlie Jones, Darnell Mooney and Cam Skattebo returned to full participation. McCarthy also reacted to former Minnesota teammate Kirk Cousins returning to the Vikings after they traded for him.
