The defending Super Bowl champion New York Giants absolutely dominated the New York Jets last night at Metlife Stadium by the score of 26-3. However with all the good things that we saw out of the Giants last night, there were a few injuries on the Giants that were definitely a cause of some concern.
In the first quarter of last night’s game, running back Ahmad Bradshaw left the game with a hand injury. it was determined later on that Bradshaw actually popped a cyst on his right hand after hitting a helmet. the Giants No.1 running back later told reporters ” I had a cyst on it before, It’s nothing serious. It’s just a precaution.” He also stated that he has had that cyst for a while and it feels fine. There were x-rays taken of the hand as well and they all turned out to be negative. The Giants can’t afford to lose Bradshaw for any large amount of time as he is the Giants most experienced and productive running back.
Giants third-round pick, Jayron Hosley was seen wearing a protective walking boot on his right foot after the game. The up and coming rookie cornerback had a 77-yard interception touchdown return off Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez in the second quarter. Hosley will be undergoing some more tests during the day today. We will update you on more once we find out the results of those tests. Hosley told reporters after the game “Something didn’t feel right. So I just took the right precautions and talked to the right people. So we’ll see.”
The injury to Hosely was not the only defensive player for that the Giants that suffered an injury last night. In the third quarter Middle linebacker, Mark Herzlich suffered a hip pointer and had to leave the game. Also leaving the game in the third quarter was Giants backup defensive end, Adrian Tracy who seemed to suffer a hamstring injury. Both the injuries to Herzlich and Tracy seemed to be minor based on comments by head coach, Tom Coughlin as well as Herzlich and Tracy themselves.
We will keep you updated on these injuries as reports come in.
