Tyrod Taylor, Darren Waller ruled out of Giants game against Jets after injuries
The New York Giants continued to be hindered by significant injuries, with the latest hits coming Sunday against the New York Jets.
Two key offensive players - quarterback Tyrod Taylor and tight end Darren Waller – were hurt and ruled out of the game. The Giants were down to third-string quarterback Tommy DeVito against a Jets defense that includes last year's Defensive Rookie of the Year, Sauce Gardner.
After a missed Graham Gano 35-yard field goal opened the door for the Jets to drive with just 24 seconds left and force overtime, the Giants fell 13-10. DeVito completed just two of seven passes for -1 yard, and the team finished with -9 yards passing overall after taking four sacks.
