Big Blue places Darren Waller, Tyrod Taylor on IR

Here is the latest news and possible return dates for Giants players…

Not long after the Giants announced Darren Waller was not traveling to Las Vegas to take on the Raiders, Big Blue revealed Saturday evening that the tight end and backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor will be placed on injured reserve.

The designation forces both players to be out a minimum of four games.

Taylor left last Sunday’s game against the Jets with a rib injury while Waller is dealing with a hamstring injury.

Already ruled out for Sunday’s game with a hamstring injury, the Giants announced on Saturday that Darren Waller will also not be traveling with the team for their road contest against the Las Vegas Raiders.

The Giants could be getting two key pieces of their offensive line back for Sunday’s game against the Raiders.

Andrew Thomas and Evan Neal are both improving, will take team reps during practice on Friday, and will be listed as questionable, head coach Brian Daboll told reporters.

Thomas hasn’t played since injuring his hamstring in Week 1 against the Cowboys. And his return was delayed after he aggravated his hamstring while practicing a few weeks ago.

“We’ll see,” Thomas said after practice. “This is the most I’ve done, this practice that we just had. If it responds well, I think I’ll have a good chance.”

Neal has missed the past two games due to an ankle injury.

While Thomas and Neal could be back, the season is over for kicker Graham Gano, who is undergoing surgery on his knee and being placed on IR.

The Giants have brought in kickers Cade York and Randy Bullock, who will compete for Gano’s spot.
