New York Giants rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. was carted off the field Tuesday after suffering a potentially serious noncontact injury to his right leg.

The injury reportedly occurred during a special teams drill. Trainers put an air cast on his leg before he headed to the locker room.

Tracy, 24, carried the ball five times for 26 yards in the Giants' preseason opener, a 14-3 win against the Detroit Lions on Thursday.

The Giants selected Tracy in the fifth round of April's draft. The 5-foot-10, 210-pound back is listed third on the team's depth chart at running back.

He started his college career at Iowa and finished it at Purdue. In 2023, he had 716 rushing yards, including three 100-yard games. He had 1,270 all-purpose yards, including 408 on kick returns.
