Giants Coach Addresses Quarterback Situation After McCarthy Sees Action
What happened
New York Giants head coach John Harbaugh has not announced a starting quarterback for the team's upcoming game against the Texans. This follows a recent game where J.J. McCarthy played snaps after Jameis Winston was benched. Harbaugh indicated McCarthy could see an expanded role going forward.
Side by side
Associated Press focuses on Harbaugh saying "no Giants QB decision yet" after McCarthy replaced Winston. USA Today leads with a story about tight end Thomas Fidone being "ready to help" the offense rather than the quarterback situation.

Outlets emphasize the competitive nature of the decision, with New York Post describing the team as "honing in on" a Winston-McCarthy choice and calling it a "quarterback quandary (controversy?)". Fox News Digital highlights that Harbaugh "benched both Cam Skattebo and Jameis Winston" and notes McCarthy "could have bigger role" with an "expanded" presence on offense. Multiple stories focus on McCarthy's "touching sideline moment" with his wife and his "breakout" performance.
