The New York Giants got quite the scare during Tuesday’s practice — unrelated to the brawl — when wide receiver Kenny Golladay went down with an apparent injury.
Initially, it was unclear if Golladay had suffered a hamstring or hand injury as he exited the field and went into team facilities without a limp. However, it was determined shortly thereafter that the 27-year-old had, in fact, tweaked his hammy.

The good news is that the Giants are “optimistic” that Golladay’s injury is relatively minor and not something that will linger long-term.
Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports that Golladay will undergo additional testing but that the injury is not considered significant.
The early word on WR Kenny Golladay’s hamstring is that it’s not considered a significant injury, per source. He’ll undergo more tests today and hamstring injuries are notoriously tricky, but preliminary indications are positive.

“Kenny’s worked real hard and I feel good about the progress we’ve made, so we’ll keep working,” quarterback Daniel Jones told reporters after practice.
The Giants signed Golladay, who has gotten off to a slow start in camp, to a four-year, $72 million deal this past offseason.
