McCain was waived Saturday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCain signed with the Giants this offseason, but he struggled to make an impact while being restricted almost exclusively to special teams work. Assuming he goes unclaimed on waivers, he'll be free to sign with any team.

McCain (illness) was not listed on the Giants' injury report Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCain appears to have overcome an illness that kept him out of last week's win over the Commanders. The Giants will now have one of their top special teams contributors back for Sunday's game versus the Patriots.

McCain (illness) is inactive ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCain was a late addition to the Giants' injury report, and he didn't travel with the team to D.C., so it's no surprise that he won't suit up Sunday. The veteran safety has appeared in seven games for New York this season, playing almost strictly on special teams and recording one total tackle.

McCain is questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders due to an illness, Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCain isn't traveling with the Giants due to his illness, so he'd have to recover quickly and make his way to D.C. in order to be able to suit up Sunday. The veteran safety has worked primarily on special teams this year, though he logged a season-high 16 defensive snaps in last week's blowout loss to Dallas. If McCain sits out Week 11, he'd miss out on the opportunity to face his former team, as he worked as a starter for the Commanders in both 2021 and 2022.

McCain wasn't listed on the Giants' injury report Wednesday ahead of Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

EDGE Analysis

McCain was evaluated for a concussion during the Giants' preseason finale against the Jets after a blindside block from wide receiver Randall Cobb. McCain will provide depth at strong safety behind Jason Pinnock and Dane Belton to start the season.

McCain left Saturday's preseason game against the Jets and is being evaluated for a concussion, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCain left the game after being on the receiving end of a blindside block by Jets' wide receiver Randall Cobb. It's likely that the Giants will keep McCain out for the rest of the game out of an abundance of caution.

McCain signed a one-year contract with the Giants on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCain, an eight-year veteran defensive back, is now slated to suit up for New York in 2023 following Tuesday's transaction. The 29-year-old had his two most productive seasons while playing for Washington across the last two years, as he registered 139 tackles, 14 passes defensed and four interceptions in that span.

The Commanders plan to release McCain on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although Washington will be losing a starting defensive back in McCain, the team is set to save $4.42 million against the cap by letting him go. The 29-year-old posted a career-high 76 tackles across 17 games played in 2022, so he should draw some solid interest throughout the league as a free agent.

McCain appeared in 17 games (16 starts) during the 2022 season and recorded 76 tackles (54 solo).

EDGE Analysis

McCain switched positions from free safety to cornerback midway through the season following an ankle injury suffered by Benjamin St-Juste . While the 29-year-old didn't lead Washington in any statistical category, McCain finished top five in tackles and played 93 percent of the Commanders' snaps. With one year remaining on his contract, it remains to be seen what position the 2015 fifth-round pick will play, as Darrick Forrest seemingly locked himself into the starting free safety job.

McCain tallied 11 tackles (nine solo) in Sunday's Week 15 loss to the Giants. He also forced a fumble that was recovered by the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

McCain played over 90 percent of the Commanders' defensive snaps for the eighth straight week and finished with a season-high 11 stops. The veteran linebacker had made a combined seven tackles over his previous two games, so this was a higher-than-usual level of production for him. McCain has already reached a career high with 71 tackles through 14 contests on the campaign.
