The New York Giants are facing an immediate and unwelcome problem in their Week 7 game against the Houston Texans. Running back Tyrone Tracy went down with an injury in the first half, forcing him off the field and potentially sidelining him for the rest of the afternoon. Talk about a rough start to Sunday for the G-Men.
Tracy Goes Down Hard Against Houston
Tracy’s injury happened in the second quarter after a carry, and he was spotted clearly limping off the field to the sideline. Before he got banged up, Tracy had already put in some work, carrying the ball six times for 23 yards and snagging one pass for two yards. The FOX broadcast quickly reported that Tracy is questionable to return to the game with a hamstring injury. It is not the news Giants fans wanted to hear, especially so early in the matchup. Even the New York Daily News’ Pat Leonard confirmed it, reporting that “Tyrone Tracy Jr. injured on that last carry. Walking off slowly.” It looked painful, and now everyone’s waiting for more info.
Who Steps Up for the G-Men?
With Tracy sidelined, the Giants’ backfield rotation instantly shifts. Cam Skattebo is expected to get a lot more work, and we will likely see plenty of Devin Singletary stepping up to handle the carries. Losing a back, especially one who was already contributing in the first half, throws a wrench into any team’s game plan. The Giants now have to adjust on the fly and rely on Skattebo and Singletary to keep their ground game going against the Texans.
This Week 7 matchup is just kicking off the Sunday slate of NFL games. While our own Seahawks are geared up for a primetime battle against the Kansas City Chiefs later tonight, the Giants are already dealing with significant personnel challenges. All eyes will be on the sideline for any updates on Tracy’s hamstring and on how Skattebo and Singletary handle the increased workload for the remainder of the game.
