The New York Giants are hoping to remain healthy in the last weeks of training camp, but they had a minor injury occur on Monday. According to USA TODAY's Art Stapleton, Golden Tate left practice with a hamstring injury.
The hamstring injury for Golden Tate apparently happened when he was doing one-on-one drills in practice. The veteran pass-catcher was being covered by Dravon Askew-Henry and had an awkward landing when attempting to make a reception.
After tumbling to the ground, he grabbed for his right hamstring and would be done practicing for the day. At the least, Golden Tate remained on the field with ice on his leg and was walking around the field during the rest of the practice session. In all likeliness, Tate didn't sustain a serious injury and the team just removed him from practice as a precaution.
Golden Tate is entering his second year with the Giants and has his sights on starting in Week 1. Last season, Tate was unable to make his debut in Week 1 for New York due to him serving a four-game suspension. He was given the suspension for violating the league's PEDs policy.
Despite his early-season suspension, Golden Tate still cemented himself as a critical member of New York's offense. Throughout the 11 games he suited up in, Tate recorded 49 receptions for 676 yards and six touchdowns in 2019.
At 32 years old, Golden Tate figures to be a reliable target for Daniel Jones as the young signal-caller enters his second year in the league. Even though Tate left practice with a hamstring issue, fans shouldn't be concerned unless the team says otherwise.
