New York Giants rookie tight end Daniel Bellinger is hopeful that he can return this season as he recovers from surgery to repair the fractured eye socket and septum, which he suffered in the team’s Week 7 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Bellinger was injured on a freak play where Jaguars rookie linebacker Devin Lloyd’s hand slipped through his face mask, jamming New York’s tight end in the left eye. He was carted from the field and taken to a local hospital.
