New York Giants rookie running back Tyrone Tracy, Jr. is in the early stages of concussion protocol and was ruled out of Wednesday’s practice.

Tracy, who appears to have passed veteran Devin Singletary as the Giants’ RB1, was injured with 4:03 remaining in the fourth quarter of the Giants’ 26-18 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday night.

During the play, his head appeared to have been slammed against the ground and he appeared dazed when Giants senior vice president of medical services Ronnie Barnes took him off the field.

Head coach Brian Daboll told reporters that Tracy was in the early stages of the concussion protocol and that he was going to try to work in parallel with the coaches during training on Wednesday.

If Tracy can practice in a redshirt by Thursday, his chances of being available for Sunday’s game against the Commanders look much better than they currently are after a short work week.

Daboll also told reporters that offensive lineman Joshua Ezeudu had his knee drained and would not practice Wednesday, but would likely be able to return to practice Thursday. Chris Hubbard, who started at left tackle last week, is set to start at left tackle again this week.

Defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence also received a veteran’s day off for Wednesday’s practice. Lawrence played in 75% of the team’s defensive snaps this season, up from the 67% he played last year. He’s previously appeared on the injury report with a hip issue, but he’s fought his way through that and every other ailment he’s dealing with.
