The injuries continue to mount for the New York Giants as they placed three players in the concussion protocol after their loss to the New York Jets on Sunday.
Solder exited the game in the second quarter and was replaced by Eric Smith. Ellison was removed from the game in the third quarter and was spelled by rookie Kaden Smith. Jenkins left the game in the fourth quarter and Sam Beal took over for him.
These three are all in addition to wide receiver Sterling Shepard, who has been in the protocol for several weeks.
Head coach Pat Shurmur said running back Saquon Barkley was “fine” after going for x-rays after the game.
“I don’t know how you’re going to write it, but I saw him today and he said he was feeling a lot better,” said Shurmur.
When asked if the Giants were considering shutting Barkley down for the season Shurmur was firm.
“Absolutely not,” he said.
