New York Giants rookie tight end Daniel Bellinger sustained a facial fracture in Sunday’s win at Jacksonville.
Giants coach Brian Daboll said Monday that Bellinger will require surgery and be out indefinitely. It’s uncertain, at this point, if he’ll be able to return this season.
He exited the Giants’ 23-17 victory after a hit by Jaguars linebacker Devin Lloyd in the second quarter. He grabbed at his face after the tackle and eventually was carted to the locker room.
Bellinger, a fourth-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, suffered a fracture around the eye socket and septum.
He tallied one catch for 13 yards at Jacksonville and has 16 receptions for 152 yards and two touchdowns in seven games (six starts). He also rushed for a 2-yard touchdown in the Week 5 win at Green Bay.
