J.J. McCarthy (hip) was listed as limited on Monday’s estimated practice report.

09 November 2026

The official designation seems to track with the prevailing sentiment from the team, with the expectation that he’ll be able to play through the hip discomfort sustained in Week 9. Fantasy managers will want to monitor his level of participation during the remainder of the week, but it appears as if McCarthy will be out there on Thursday Night Football against the Commanders. The pass-funnel nature of the matchup and expected presence of McCarthy is a boost to the fantasy upside of Isaiah Likely and Malik Nabers.
