Scrambling to his right, Taylor found an open receiver, rookie tight end Daniel Bellinger, for the first down. However, Clemons just missed picking up a sack, hitting Taylor hard as he released the ball.
Taylor was in clear discomfort following the play, and while he was able to jog to the sideline and be evaluated in the medical tent, a cart would take him to the Giants’ locker room for further evaluation.
The official diagnosis is a back injury for the veteran signal-caller. The Giants will hope the injury isn’t anything severe, as Taylor signed with Big Blue knowing they needed a more competent veteran backup behind Daniel Jones.
