Giants TE Theo Johnson suffered a foot injury in Thursday's loss to the Cowboys that's expected to end his season, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The Giants placed TE Darren Waller on IR with his latest hamstring injury. He was already ruled out for Sunday's game vs. the Raiders and will now also miss the next three games vs. the Cowboys, Commanders, and Patriots. The Giants then have a Week 13 bye, so Week 14 is the earliest we'll see Waller again. He's droppable in fantasy leagues without deep benches or IR spots. Daniel Bellinger will take over as New York's lead TE with Waller out. He averaged 2.5 catches, 22 yards, and 0.2 TDs across 12 games as a rookie last year.

Giants HC Brian Daboll said Thursday that TE Darren Waller (hamstring) won't play vs. the Raiders this weekend and might require a trip to IR. That'd knock him out for four total games. It's not a big surprise after Waller admitted that he'll likely miss multiple weeks with his latest hamstring injury. We'd try to keep him stashed on fantasy benches considering the sorry state of the TE position, but Waller might need to be dropped in shallow-bench leagues. His absence leaves Daniel Bellinger as New York's top TE. He averaged 2.5 catches, 22 yards, and 0.2 TDs across 12 games as a rookie last year. Bellinger is an emergency-only fantasy option.

The Giants on Friday added TE Darren Waller to the injury report and list him questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. The Sunday night kickoff for that one will make it difficult to wait for Waller's actual game status. Make sure you roster an insurance option before Sunday's games start. If Waller doesn't go, Daniel Bellinger should be New York's lead TE. We'll watch for more on Waller's status.

WR Richie James led the Giants in targets (9), receptions (7) and receiving yards (61) in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. He capped it off with 2 catches on the final drive from QB Tyrod Taylor after New York pulled QB Daniel Jones -- including the Giants' final TD. WR Isaiah Hodgins checked in 2nd with 6 targets and 4 catches. His 38 yards ranked 3rd behind WR Darius Slayton (2-42 on 3 targets). Hodgins also caught Jones' lone TD pass, marking the young wideout's 2nd straight game with a TD. TE Daniel Bellinger managed just 3-19 receiving on 3 targets in his 2nd game back from an eye injury.

Giants TE Daniel Bellinger is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Eagles with a rib injury. He took a big hit in the 1st half and was clearly struggling. We'll update on his status when we know more.

Update: Bellinger has been ruled out.

Giants TE Daniel Bellinger said Wednesday that he expects to play again this season, though his return timeline remains unclear, according to SNY's Connor Hughes. The rookie has been out since suffering a Week 7 eye injury that required surgery. He says some healing is still needed before he can return to action.

Giants TE Daniel Bellinger will undergo surgery this week to repair a fractured eye socket and septum, according to the New York Post's Paul Schwartz. It's not believed to be a season-ending injury, per Schwartz, but expect Bellinger to miss multiple games. The rookie had emerged as a significant part of New York's passing game, drawing 16 targets over his last 4 healthy games. His absence will leave New York with TEs Chris Myarick and Tanner Hudson -- and free up a few more targets for RB Saquon Barkley and WR Wan'Dale Robinson.

Giants TE Daniel Bellinger exited Sunday's preseason game to get checked for a concussion. We'll see if he's diagnosed with the head injury. Bellinger is currently atop New York's depth chart, but we wouldn't be surprise to see the team make an addition at the position this coming week.

Giants TE Daniel Bellinger is opening training camp on the PUP list with a quad injury. The rookie surprisingly ran with the starters in OTAs and is certainly a name to monitor leading up to Week 1. We'll see when he's able to get back on the practice field.
