The New York Giants suffered more than just a 13-10 OT loss to the NY Jets on Sunday — quarterback Tyrod Taylor and tight end Darren Waller both left in the first half against the New York Jets on Sunday with injuries.

After Taylor was ruled out with a rib injury, the team announced he was taken to a hospital for further evaluation. The veteran quarterback was running to his right and raised his right arm to pass when the ball slipped out of his hand and was tackled for a sack by Quinton Jefferson and CJ Mosley. After remaining down for a few minutes as he was checked by trainers, Taylor was able to jog to the Giants’ sideline, though he later took a knee in pain before heading straight to the locker room.

Meanwhile, Waller injured his hamstring early in the second quarter after a 4-yard catch on third-and-5, after which the team announced he would not return. Waller was limited all week in practice with a hamstring injury.

Taylor was replaced by undrafted rookie Tommy DeVito. Taylor started his third straight game for Daniel Jones, who is dealing with a neck injury. Meanwhile TE Daniel Bellinger, who was a starter as a rookie last season, stepped in for Waller after his exit.
