Russell Wilson's Secret Injury Rocks Giants Offseason
6 Jan
Summary
- Russell Wilson revealed playing with a torn hamstring in Week 2.
- The NFL is investigating the Giants for potential injury mishandling.
- Wilson defended the Giants, stating he hid the injury himself.
As the New York Giants navigate their disappointing 4-13 2025 season, a new controversy has emerged. Quarterback Russell Wilson disclosed that he played with a grade two hamstring tear sustained just before Week 2 against the Dallas Cowboys. He revealed this injury occurred on the final play of practice the Friday before the game.
This revelation has triggered an investigation by the NFL into the Giants' practices regarding player injuries. This is not the first time the team has faced scrutiny, as head coach Brian Daboll and others were previously fined for violating concussion protocol. Wilson, however, later clarified his statements, defending the Giants' decision not to disclose his injury.
Wilson stated that the team was unaware of the full extent of his injury because he chose not to inform anyone, prioritizing playing through the pain in a critical game. During his six appearances in the 2025 season, Wilson recorded 831 passing yards and three touchdowns before eventually being benched.
