Overview
- Wilson told reporters he tore his hamstring on the last play of a Friday practice before the Giants’ Week 2 overtime loss to the Cowboys and still played.
- He later tweeted that the Giants “didn’t know” because he chose not to tell anyone, defending the team from blame.
- He said he arranged secret treatment at the Dallas Mavericks’ training facility before the game.
- The hamstring issue did not appear on subsequent Giants injury reports in Weeks 3 and 4, and the NFL declined to comment when contacted.
- League policy allows fines, suspensions, or loss of draft picks for reporting violations, and coverage indicates the disclosure is likely to draw league scrutiny.
