Darren Waller Placed on Injured Reserve with Hamstring Injury

New York Giants Tight End Sidelined for at Least Four Games

Injury Dampens Waller's Promising Season

New York Giants tight end Darren Waller has been placed on injured reserve with a hamstring injury, the team announced Saturday. The injury occurred during Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys, aggravating an existing hamstring issue that had been bothering him in recent weeks.

Waller will now miss a minimum of four games, a significant blow to the Giants' offense. The veteran tight end has been a key contributor this season, with 24 receptions for 296 yards and two touchdowns in six games played. His absence will leave a void in the Giants' passing attack.

The Giants' injury report heading into Week 8 had raised concerns about Waller's status, as he was listed as questionable with the hamstring injury. However, it was initially believed that he would be able to play through the discomfort. Unfortunately, the injury proved to be more severe than anticipated, forcing the team to place him on injured reserve.

Waller's injury is a reminder of the physical challenges that NFL players face on a weekly basis. The Giants will hope that he can make a full recovery and return to the field as soon as possible, but his absence will undoubtedly impact the team's performance in the coming weeks.
