EAST RUTHERFORD, New Jersey – Unused York Giants rookie running back Tyrone Tracy has cleared concussion protocol and can play in games Sunday against the Washington Commanders at MetLife Stadium.
The infield was no longer as encouraging for kicker Greg Joseph. He underwent an MRI on Friday for indirect shock and was ruled out for Sunday’s divisional matchup. Rookie Jude McAtamney, recently on the practice squad, is likely to kick against the Commanders.
Tracy, the current fifth-round draft pick who worked his way into a point guard position, left Monday night’s loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the fourth quarter with a concussion. He practiced on Friday as one of the final major hurdles of the protocol before being cleared by an independent neurologist.
Tracy had 20 carries for 145 yards and a touchdown before leaving the game against the Steelers. It was his second 100-yard game in four weeks. The transformed wide receiver has been inspiring in his first time with the Giants. So much so that he has surpassed Devin Singletary in the Deny. 1 function working again.
“He’s a good player. He’s got size. He’s got speed. He’s got power. He’s got good vision,” teacher Brian Daboll said. “I think the plays have been blocked well, too. He’s made plays when they weren’t blocked… He’s done a good job. He’s earned his playing time. And he’ll continue to play. He’s playing well, so he’s earned what he deserves.” is receiving”.
Tracy played nearly 60% of the Giants’ offensive snaps before being injured.
The unused York’s kicking game has an additional accumulation of doubts. It is said that Joseph’s surprise came out of nowhere. He practiced all his life and did not appear in the crash file until Friday. The second one this season, the Giants have long entered their matchup with questions about their placekicker. In his joint Presen 2, Graham Gano entered the competition with a bruise to the groin. Thus, he injured his hamstring while chasing sick running back/returner Austin Ekeler on the opening kickoff. The Giants were without a kicker the rest of the 21-18 loss. It proved costly when they overlooked several potential landscaping attempts in the second phase.
McAtamney will be the Giants’ third kicker this season. The unused York is also on his second punter after Jamie Gillan was injured in practice a few weeks ago. Matt Haack will punt for the third time immediately on Sunday.
