EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - The New York Giants not only were unsuccessful with the "tush push" but also lost two players to injury on the play in the first quarter on Monday night. Both rookie center John Michael Schmitz and tight end Daniel Bellinger left the 24-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks at MetLife Stadium and did not return.
Schmitz is dealing with a shoulder injury and Bellinger hurt his knee. They are undergoing further tests Tuesday to determine the severity.
"Yeah, both guys got hurt on that play," coach Brian Daboll said of the fourth-and-1 rush attempt on the Giants' opening drive on Monday night.
