The New York Giants can breathe a little easier after getting some positive injury news regarding Tyrone Tracy.
Tracy had his leg placed in an air cast and was taken off the Giants’ practice field in a cart on Tuesday after suffering a leg injury during a kickoff return.

Despite the initial scare, the good news is Tracy has a low ankle sprain and is considered week-to-week.
#Giants rookie RB Tyrone Tracy, who is primed to get significant playing time in the backfield and was carted off the field on Tuesday, was diagnosed with a low-ankle sprain, sources say. Much better than anticipated.

Tracy was also already back in team meetings later in the day on Tuesday.
Tracy was a 5th-round pick by the Giants this year out of Purdue. The 24-year-old had 716 rushing yards and 8 touchdowns last season for the Boilermakers. Tracy began his college career in 2018 with Iowa before transfering to Purdue for the last two seasons.
