Giants' Tight End Darren Waller Potentially Out for Weeks with Hamstring Injury

Hamstring injury raises concerns as Waller previously missed eight games last season due to similar issues; Giants prepare for upcoming match against Raiders without key pass-catcher.

• Darren Waller, the Giants' tight end, is potentially out for weeks due to a strained hamstring injury; this injury is seen as a ghastly repeat from last season where Waller missed eight games due to similar issues.
• Waller's injury is not just a setback for the player but also for the team as he leads the Giants with 36 receptions, amassing 384 yards and scoring one touchdown so far this season.
• In agreement with the medical staff, Waller has committed to taking a measured and careful approach to his recovery, highlighting the importance of not rushing back to the game too soon and risking re-injury.
• The Giants, currently with a 2-6 record, also face other potential player absences; QB Tyrod Taylor is dealing with a rib cage injury, while others like LT Andrew Thomas and RT Evan Neal may return for the upcoming game against the Raiders.
• This injury setback happens as the Giants prepare to face Waller's former team, the Las Vegas Raiders, adding another layer of frustration to an already strained situation.
