#Giants TE Daniel Fells had unexpected foot surgery this week and is likely destined for Injured Reserve, sources say. Another G-Men injury
Very reliable guy but replicable. Anyone had any insight as to how Tye did in the blocking department. Cunningham should be back sooner than later as well
...I don't understand why Reese et.al. have not upgraded the TE position in recent years via FA or draft. TE is a serious offensive weapon on most teams but not on the Giants. Now we're down to Donnell (ugh) and a cast of nobodies. A serious flaw on this team.
While the Giants were taking care of business in Buffalo, tight end Daniel Fells was hospitalized back home. He spent the weekend addressing a foot infection that required multiple surgeries and will likely end his season, a person with knowledge of the situation told NJ Advance Media.
This is a joke, right? Robinson could never even figure out WHO to block when he played.
Fells would provide more value playing with crutches and a boot.
Robinson knows the playbook and is a familiar face. Not a slam dunk he comes back, but it sort of feels like the type of thing Coughlin would do in this instance.
And inquire about Matelleus Bennet who is the closest thing to an impact TE out there...the guy is still young and is close to elite/ Pro Bowl level...like Landon Collins...I would trade a 4th or 5th round pick to get this guy...
Fells was one of the most quietly productive players I've seen in a while. Guy was almost never talked about by anyone but seemed to pop up and make a play when we needed one and felt reliable. I liked him more than Donnell. Sucks this happened.
he has already been in for a workout with the Giants a couple of weeks ago...
Problem is he is more of receiving Tight End rather than blocking...
Maybe Giants give a call to the Bears?
Bennett would be a huge addition, but would cost us too much. he had 11 receptions yesterday for something like 83 yards and a TD too! I'm not so sure the Giants can afford to lose any more draft picks in any potential trade, but it might have to come to that. Maybe a pick the following year would suffice?
If I got to play GM, I'd bring in Joseph Fauria. We had a workout with him, he can catch the ball, decent blocker. I don't think he's any worse than Donnell.

Seriously, how do you go from an "ankle" injury to an infection?
Great question. It really is getting to a point where it does seem valid for people to question the Giants medical staff and doctors. For years, I thought the comments and criticism were unfounded. The last couple of years have been very strange.
I thought that the drop by Tye was going to be the turning point in the game. It wasn't...other than it turned us away from a rout.

Giants tight end Daniel Fells spent weekend in hospital, season likely over: source - ( New Window )

I would like to see the Giants bring in an outside consultant to evaluate the fitness/health aspects of the organization.

Me too.
Probably not so much for a pro athlete, but I'm just guessing. That it would require surgery suggests it was pretty urgent
I don't remember his ankle being listed as the injury. I have only seen "foot" as the cause of his absence
Lol
