Tyrone Tracy heads to locker room after scary tackle vs. Jets

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. suffered an apparent injury during his team's preseason Week 3 game against the New York Jets.

The injury occurred as Tracy was tackled at the end of an 8-yard run with just over seven minutes remaining in the second quarter. The 26-year-old lowered his head while trying to power through contact and collided with the Jets defender, seemingly compressing his neck.

Tracy remained down on the ground after the play, and his Giants teammates immediately signaled for the training staff to come tend to him.

Tracy received medical attention on the field. He was eventually able to get up and walk off the field slowly, under his own power.

The Giants did not immediately provide an update on Tracy's injury or his status moving forward.

This story will be updated as more information becomes available.
