McCarthy is serving as the Giants No. 2 quarterback for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Jake Haener backed up Jameis Winston last week versus the Cardinals, but he's inactive as New York's third quarterback for Sunday's contest. The No. 2 job is now officially McCarthy's after having a couple weeks to familiarize himself with a new playbook after being acquired from the Vikings in late September. Winston remains the starter for now, but McCarthy seems likely to get a look at some point this year for the Giants.

Carter (abdomen) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London.

Carter exited Sunday's game with an abdominal issue and will not return to the contest. Kenny Moore has taken over at strong safety.

Elliss (chest) is active Week 5 against the Raiders.

It wasn't a sure thing that Elliss would suit up after only participating in practice in a limited basis all week, but that ended up being enough. The veteran linebacker played through a similar issue last week against Buffalo, where he logged six combined tackles across 58 defensive snaps.

Jones (shoulder) is active Week 5 against the Raiders.

Jones has been a regular on the injury report this season due to ongoing shoulder issues, but so far he has only missed Week 3. He'll suit up for Sunday's home matchup after logging zero tackles on 43 defensive snaps a week ago against Buffalo.

Leonard (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers, though he is listed as the team's emergency quarterback.

Leonard is inactive once again. However, as has been the case in previous weeks, Leonard will be available if Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson exit the contest due to injury, illness or ejection.

Wright (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Wright was a mid-week addition to the Dolphins' injury report, after a sore foot limited his participation in practices Thursday and Friday. He took a questionable tag into the weekend but looks to be healthy enough to contribute out of the Miami backfield. In the wake of De'Von Achane's (knee) season-ending ACL tear, Ollie Gordon led the Dolphins with 100 rushing yards and a touchdown on nine carries to go with two catches for zero yards in a Week 4 loss to the Vikings. After that strong effort, Gordon is the favorite to pace the Miami backfield in snaps and touches once again in Week 5, but it's possible Wright cuts into his workload a bit more if he isn't slowed by the foot issue.

Beckham (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game in New Orleans.

Only four days removed from the Vikings signing Beckham to the practice squad and elevating him ahead of Week 5 action, he'll be a healthy scratch in his first chance to contribute to Minnesota's offense. With Jordan Addison (hamstring) also inactive Sunday, the team's available wide receivers Sunday will be Justin Jefferson (ankle), Jauan Jennings, Tai Felton, Myles Price and Jeshaun Jones.

Woods (shoulder) is active Week 5 against the Raiders.

Woods suiting up was essentially a necessity for New England, who has four cornerbacks listed on the inactive list Sunday. The third-year defensive back -- who has 18 combined tackles through the first four weeks -- should be in line for a heavy snap count.

Enagbare (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Browns.

Enagbare ended Week 5 prep with a full practice after logging consecutive sessions with a knee injury to start the week. The defensive end is all set to suit up for Sunday's contest as a starting pass rusher for the Jets' defense.

McDonald (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Browns.

McDonald appeared on Friday's injury report with a new calf injury. The defensive end managed to log limited participation in practice despite the injury and has recovered in time for Sunday's contest.
