Russell Wilson: Giants "didn't know" about Week 2 hamstring tear

Our Summary

Giants quarterback Russell Wilson revealed he sustained a Grade 2 hamstring tear during practice before the Week 2 game against the Cowboys, which he did not disclose to the team. Wilson stated he chose to keep the injury to himself, fearing he would be benched. This lack of disclosure raises potential scrutiny from the NFL, as the injury was not listed in the team's reports for Weeks 2, 3, or 4. The NFL, emphasizing the importance of injury reporting due to gambling implications, may investigate the Giants for failing to update their injury report. Additionally, Wilson received treatment from the Dallas Mavericks' facility, suggesting the NBA team may have been aware of the injury. The NFL has not yet commented on the situation.
