Story summary

The New York Post reports that the Giants are preparing for Jayden Daniels to play against them this Sunday despite Daniels missing the past two games due to a dislocated left elbow. Washington's coach, Dan Quinn, indicated that Daniels will be fully participating in practices and is expected to face the Giants at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland. Without Daniels, the Commanders won their last game but lost their most recent one when third-string quarterback Athan Kaliakmanis led them. Giants head coach John Harbaugh emphasized preparing for Daniels as if he were fully healthy and capable of all his usual plays.

🔮 At least the Giants will not be blindsided, as far as who they are facing at quarterback this weekend.
🔮 Heading into his second week with his new team, it sure sounds as if the Giants will do everything possible to fast-forward the learning process to get McCarthy into the No. 2 spot behind starter Jameis Winston in time for Sunday’s game with the Commanders.
🔮 If the player went down, the final score would have been 30-24 and that would have been just fine for the home team.
🔮 Either safety will have his hands full with McBride, who is not a physical mismatch but can be a skill-set nightmare to deal with.
🔮 Will it be there Sunday against the Cardinals, who are 1-2 but are averaging 21 points a game?
🔮 That prevented what would have been a desultory collapse in a game in which backup-turned-starting quarterback Jameis Winston did nothing to convince anyone the offense is in good hands with him at the controls.
🔮 McCarthy joins a quarterback room devoid of Jaxson Dart — out for the season following knee surgery — and he will learn the playbook as Jameis Winston continues to start.
🔮 If Winston plays terribly, a move must be made, and that move could not be Jake Haener (one NFL start) as QB2.
🔮 SIGN UP NOW“I would have lost it if we lost this game,’’ right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor said.
🔮 Sure, the weather was not conducive for long-range throws but there were enough throws by Jameis Winston that could have been completed that he failed to deliver.
