Giants' Week 4 Inactive Report Features One Surprise

J.J. McCarthy isn't the Giants' emergency QB against the Cardinals. Could that mean there is a package of plays for him?

New York Giants

The New York Giants enter today’s game against the Arizona Cardinals with every player “healthy.” 

They submitted a clean injury report this week in which no players were given a designation, which means technically that this week's entire inactive list consists of healthy scratches. 

That list includes:

  1. RB Devin Singletary
  2. OL J.C. Davis
  3. DL Bobby Jamison-Travis
  4. CB Nikko Reed 
  5. S Ar’darius Washington   
  6. TE Thomas Fidone
  7. OLB Jihad Ward

J.J. McCarthy is not listed as the emergency quarterback. That raises a question as to whether the Giants have a package of plays in this week's game plan for McCarthy in certain spots.

Here are the Cardinals inactives:

  • QB Carson Beck (emergency quarterback)
  • CB Starling Thomas V
  • S Rabbit Taylor-Demerson
  • LB Cameron Robertson
  • OL Josh Fryar
  • WR Reggie Virgil
