Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Tuesday that Tracy has entered the concussion protocol following Monday's 26-18 loss to the Steelers, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
Tracy exited the contest with just over four minutes left in the fourth quarter after he appeared to slam his head on the turf. The rookie didn't return for the Giants' final possession, and Daboll has confirmed that Tracy sustained a concussion on the play. After the Monday night game, the Giants will be facing a quick turnaround ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Commanders, so Tracy could face an uphill battle to clear the five-step concussion protocol. He appeared to have solidified himself as the Giants' lead back after gaining 145 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries to go with two catches for five yards in the loss to Pittsburgh. If Tracy is unable to play against Washington however, Devin Singletary would presumably step back in as the team's starter.
