Overview
- Giants' tight end Darren Waller suffered a hamstring injury during Sunday’s game against the Jets, which resulted in his early departure in the second quarter.
- This marks Waller’s latest encounter with a hamstring injury, with previous occurrences during his time with the Raiders. Yet, this is the first time Waller might miss a game since his trade to the Giants.
- Unlike previous injuries which were located at the upper part of his hamstring, this injury is situated where the tendon attaches to the knee.
- Despite being listed as questionable with a hamstring strain from the previous week, Waller had decided to play in the game. He managed to catch a 4-yard pass in the second quarter before ending his game participation.
- Waller has been significant to the Giants this season by making 35 catches for 380 yards and a touchdown in seven games. His absence from subsequent games can affect the team’s performance.
