Former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson disclosed that he played through a grade two hamstring tear while with the New York Giants, keeping the injury secret from the team. He sustained the injury during practice before a Week 2 game against the Dallas Cowboys, yet managed to throw for 450 yards and three touchdowns in that game. Although he started in Week 3, he was benched the following week for rookie Jaxson Dart. Wilson’s decision to hide his injury may complicate his prospects for the 2026 season.
