Giants’ Daniel Bellinger Suffers Fractured Eye Socket In Bloody Play

New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger will be out forever … after he suffered a damaged eye socket versus the Jaguars in a scary play on Sunday.

The frightening event occurred with 56 seconds left in the very first half of NY’s video game versus Jacksonville in Florida … when Bellinger captured a 13-yard pass and was accidentally poked in the left eye by a Jags protector.

The 6-foot-5, 253-pound novice folded to the ground in major discomfort … and images from the scene revealed he was bleeding a lot from his eye while he was being hauled off the field.

Giants head coach Brian Daboll revealed Monday that the 22-year-old’s left eye socket was fractured in the play, and will need surgical treatment. It’s unidentified when he’ll have the ability to go back to the field.

“Any time one of your better players gets injured, you’ll always miss him, but that’s why you have players on your roster,” Daboll stated.

“People are here for a reason. We’ve said this before. We have to find a way to use our pieces the best way we can. So we have two tight ends, we have a practice squad and we’ll try to do the best job we can of utilizing their strengths.”

Bellinger — a 4th-round choice in this year’s draft — has actually been among the Giants’ finest offending weapons this season, logging 16 receptions for 152 backyards and 3 overall goals.
