Russell Wilson Says He Hid Grade 2 Hamstring Tear From Giants as NFL Review Looms

His account cites private work at the Dallas Mavericks facility, with the hamstring never listed on Giants injury reports.

Overview

  • Wilson said he tore his hamstring on the final play of a Friday practice before the Giants’ Week 2 game against the Cowboys.
  • He played through the injury in that overtime loss, throwing for 450 yards and three touchdowns in a 40-37 defeat.
  • He told reporters he felt he could not disclose the injury and sought quiet treatment, including sessions at the Mavericks’ facility.
  • Reuters reported the hamstring issue did not appear on New York’s injury reports, which listed only an ankle item for Wilson in Week 5.
  • Reuters indicated an NFL investigation into who knew about the injury is likely, with league sensitivity heightened around transparency and gambling-related integrity.
