Giants rookie TE Daniel Bellinger is listed as questionable to play Sunday, but expressed confidence that he will return after missing four games.
The first time Giants rookie tight end Daniel Bellinger took the field for a full-padded practice after surgery to repair a frightening eye injury, he admitted he was, if not nervous, certainly more cautious than usual.
During Week 7 at Jacksonville, Bellinger caught a pass for a 13-yard gain near the end of the first half and went down after he was accidentally poked in the eye by a Jaguars defender. Blood stained his jersey as he was carted off, and he needed surgery to repair fractures of his lower eye socket and damage to his septum.Bellinger also experienced double vision. That has cleared up, and the physical practice earlier in the week helped convince him he can handle the real thing.
Bellinger, in seven games, has 16 receptions for 152 yards and two touchdowns. He also has a rushing touchdown. In addition to his receiving skills, the Giants also missed his run blocking.There is a new addition to his helmet: A visor attached to his face mask. The one he used in practice had a pinkish hue to it.Help has arrived on defense. OLB Azeez Ojulari and S Tony Jefferson were activated from injured reserve.
The Commanders will be without starting RG Trai Turner . RB Antonio Gibson is questionable, as is LB Chase Young, who has not played yet this season coming off ACL surgery. … The Giants’ Nick Gates is expected to start at left guard for only the second time in his career; he has 18 starts at center.
