Tyrone Tracy Injury Update
Tyrone Tracy Jr. left the Giants’ Monday night game against the Patriots with a left hip injury, and for now, the team has only labeled him “questionable to return,” which is NFL-speak for “this doesn’t look great, but we’re not committing yet.” Jesse Morse, M.D. (@DrJesseMorse) shared on X that Tyrone Tracy is dealing with a hip injury and was carted off.
Madelyn Burke (@MadelynBurke) shared on X that the #Giants have announced RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. (hip) is questionable to return.
The injury came with a little over 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter, on what looked like a pretty routine run that turned ugly fast when he was hit and driven into the turf for a loss. He stayed down, trainers rushed in, and you could see pretty quickly this wasn’t a “walk it off and get back in there” moment.
On the sideline, Tracy couldn’t put weight on his left leg, needed help just to make it to the medical tent, and was eventually carted back to the locker room, which is the image that makes every fan’s stomach drop. The Giants later clarified it as a hip injury, not just a generic “lower body” tag, which usually means they’re at least somewhat confident about the area they need to scan and test. Early stat-wise, he’d actually been doing the hard yards work: 10 carries, 36 rushing yards, nothing flashy but exactly the kind of grind a struggling 2–11 team needs in a cold late-season game.
Context-wise, the timing could not be worse for New York’s backfield. Terrell Jennings had already exited earlier in the game with a concussion, so by the time Tracy went down, the Giants were suddenly down their top two running backs and scrambling with Devin Singletary and Eric Gray to finish things out.
For a team already buried in a seven-game losing streak, losing your RB1, who only got that role after Cam Skattebo’s injury earlier in the year, feels like another chapter in a season-long “you have got to be kidding me” script. From a fantasy and betting angle, it pushes Singletary into that “must-roster, volume-by-necessity” zone if Tracy ends up missing time after the Week 14 bye, which many analysts are already hinting at given how serious the exit looked in real time.
Right now, the honest, slightly frustrating reality is that there’s no official long-term diagnosis yet, just the in-game designation and the visuals everyone saw needing help off the field, no weight on the leg, then the cart. Hip injuries can range from “back in a week” to “season over,” and until the Giants complete imaging and put out a more detailed report, fans are stuck in wait-and-refresh mode.
If there’s one small positive, it’s that the upcoming bye gives at least a little breathing room for evaluation and rehab, instead of a mad dash to be ready by next Sunday, but nobody in that locker room is pretending this wasn’t a worrying scene.
