Russell Wilson reveals he had undisclosed hamstring tear before Week 2 at Dallas

Our Summary

Russell Wilson disclosed that he played with a torn hamstring during the New York Giants' Week 2 game against the Dallas Cowboys, potentially prompting a league investigation. Wilson revealed the injury occurred in practice the Friday before the game and was not disclosed to the NFL, the Cowboys, or the public. Despite the injury, Wilson threw for 450 yards and three touchdowns in the game. However, his admission raises questions about whether the Giants or other parties were aware of the injury and did not report it, violating league rules on injury disclosure. The NFL is expected to investigate the situation, which could lead to fines for the Giants and possibly affect Wilson's future in the league. The incident echoes past issues with undisclosed injuries and highlights the league's ongoing concerns about transparency and integrity.
