Week 9 vs. the Raiders won’t be the only game the Giants will play without Daniel Jones’s top receiver and backup, with injured tight end Darren Waller and quarterback Tyrod Taylor set for extended absences.
New York announced Saturday Waller (hamstring) and Taylor (ribs) have been placed on injured reserve ahead of Sunday’s road game versus the Raiders, keeping them sidelined for a minimum of four games. Both veterans were already ruled out for Week 9 earlier in the week and went on to miss the entire week of practice.
With Jones set to return Sunday from a neck injury, Saturday’s decision deals a tough blow to the Giants (2–6) days after the pair’s premature departures in the Giants’ 13–10 overtime loss to the Jets last Sunday.
