Hey, everybody, welcome into the Purple Insider Post Game Show presented by Fanduil.

0:11.3

Matthew Collar here, Dane Mizatani in East Rutherford, New Jersey, and the New York Giants slash Jets press box there following a football game that definitely happened between two teams.

0:25.2

And what we will take out of it is one really good throw by Max Brosmer, an injury for

0:30.9

J.J. McCarthy, and probably not a whole lot else. But certainly the injury that happened to J.J. McCarthy to his hand is

0:40.3

where we shall begin. Dane, how serious does it feel like J.J. McCarthy's injury is?

0:49.3

Yeah, I mean, it's hard to say because right after the game, talking to Kevin O'Connell,

And of course, quick turnaround adds to the unknowns, less than 96 hours to kick off now.

1:45.4

How quickly is he going to be able to turn over?

1:49.6

So I guess it's not a catastrophic injury in that it was announced after the game to be broken because it's not.

1:58.5

Like I said, x-rays are negative.
