New York Giants quarterback Tyrod Taylor was taken to the hospital after suffering an injury during Sunday’s game against the New York Jets and he will remain there overnight.
Taylor was trying to throw a pass on the run during the first half of the Giants’ 13-10 overtime loss. The ball slipped out of his hand and popped into the air, but Taylor was able to catch it and scramble for some yardage. A defender landed hard on Taylor’s back when making the tackle, which left the quarterback in significant pain.
Taylor exited the game and was taken to Hackensack Medical Center for further evaluation. After the contest, the Giants announced that Taylor has an injury to his rib cage and will stay in the hospital for observation overnight.
Giants starting quarterback Daniel Jones also missed his third consecutive game on Sunday with a neck injury. There has been some uncertainty about when he will return.
Following Taylor's injury, undrafted rookie Tommy DeVito took over at quarterback. The Giants will likely bring in a veteran this week if both Jones and Taylor remain sidelined.
