Jake Ballard tore his ACL in SB46 but as the video shows, he really did try and tough it out and play. The Giants lost both starting TE’s (Travis Beckum is the other) to torn ACL’s in the Super Bowl, but were still able to pull it out with Bear Pascoe the only healthy option left on the roster.
The Giants haven’t had a true pass catching TE since Jeremy Shockey took his show on the road, so they may want to address the position in either the NFL draft or in free agency. Eli Manning could make a star out of an elite level TE if he can get one in the lineup.
