The @Giants found their answer with @Jaboowins @RobGronkowski @Edelman11 https://t.co/xbOD5IgsR0 Via @NFLonFOX on X

What happened: Winston said he wants to work, compete and do his best to win games for New York. Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman backed him as the option for New York.

Why it matters: New York acquired McCarthy for a fifth-rounder with Dart sidelined. McCarthy opened as QB3, leaving the starting path clear for Winston to stabilize the offense.

What to watch: Watch whether Winston takes first-team reps this week and who is active on Sunday.
