Giants TE Darren Waller ruled out with hamstring injury - ESPN

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — New York Giants tight end Darren Waller has been ruled out of Sunday's game with the rival New York Jets with a hamstring injury.

It's particularly concerning considering injuries have been an issue for Waller in recent years. He missed eight games last season because of a hamstring problem.

Waller, 30, was listed as a limited participant in practice this past week with a hamstring injury. He was officially listed as questionable for Sunday's contest.

The veteran tight end's final play came on a third-and-5 in the second quarter. He caught a pass from quarterback Tyrod Taylor and was tackled from behind short of the marker by Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner.

It marked Waller's sole catch (for 4 yards) on two targets.

The Giants acquired Waller this past offseason for a pair of draft picks from the Las Vegas Raiders to be their No. 1 receiver. He came into this week leading the Giants with 35 catches for 380 yards.

Waller scored his first touchdown for the Giants in a 14-7 win over the Washington Commanders.

Without Waller, the Giants had only one healthy tight end available for the remainder of their game against the Jets. Daniel Bellinger, who was a starter as a rookie last season, had to step into Waller's role.
