What happened: New York Giants quarterback J.J. McCarthy returned to Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles in the third quarter after undergoing evaluation in the locker room. McCarthy had previously exited the game after taking a hard hit to his throwing shoulder. After testing his arm on the sideline, he re-entered the contest.

Why it matters: McCarthy's immediate return stabilizes New York's offense in a key division matchup. He avoided an extended absence after initially being designated as questionable to return.

What to watch: Watch for any lingering discomfort in McCarthy's throwing shoulder as the game progresses into the fourth quarter.
