The only New York Giants player to have scored a touchdown at MetLife Stadium this season is running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. However, he emerged as an injury concern during the week ahead of the Giants' upcoming home game against the Washington Commanders on Sunday afternoon.
After a spectacular performance against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 8, where he rushed for 145 yards, Tracy was hit hard late in the game and was placed in concussion protocol. Let's see below if he will be fit to play when New York hosts Washington.
Will Tyrone Tracy Jr. play against the Commanders on Sunday?
According to reports, RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. cleared the concussion protocol on Friday and will play against the Washington Commanders on Sunday. The Purdue University alum logged a full practice participation on Friday and is no longer carrying an injury designation.
Fans of the Giants must be thrilled to learn that the 2024 NFL draft's fifth-round pick will be available in Week 9, especially after he just had a fantastic performance against the Steelers in Week 8. In that game, he caught two passes for five yards on three attempts and rushed 20 times for 145 yards and a touchdown.
Tracy has accumulated 376 rushing yards at a remarkable 5.2 yards per rush in eight games this season. With 16 receptions for 113 yards, he has also helped the passing offense and has rapidly established himself as a useful offensive weapon for the team.
Tyrone Tracy and the rest of the offense will need to be at their best as the Giants attempt to take down a formidable Commanders side on Sunday, especially because this divisional game has a significant impact in the NFC East standings.
How to watch New York Giants vs. Washington Commanders in Week 9?
In their four home games this season, the New York Giants have yet to secure a win. Additionally, quarterback Daniel Jones has not thrown a touchdown pass at MetLife Stadium since the 2024 season began.
