Tyrone Tracy Jr. injury update: Latest on the Giants RB for Fantasy Football Week 16

New York Giants rookie RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. sustained an ankle injury in the team's Week 15 matchup with the Baltimore Ravens last Sunday. However, since he was able to practice on Wednesday and Thursday, albeit not fully, it doesn't seem like the injury is serious.

Whether Tracy Jr. can fully recover from the ankle injury before New York's Week 16 matchup with the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday is still up in the air.

In any event, fantasy football players should keep a close eye on his condition during practice on Friday because he will probably need to participate fully to avoid being designated for Sunday's game.

Having suffered an ankle injury before the start of the season, the 25-year-old running back has not missed any time because of it. He only managed ten rushes for 31 rushing yards against the Ravens last weekend.

Devin Singletary will be ready for a heavier workload in the Giants' backfield if Tyrone Tracy is unable to play on Sunday.

Tyrone Tracy Jr. injury update: What happened to the Giants RB?

The New York Giants selected Tyrone Tracy as the 166th overall pick in the fifth round of the draft in April. Despite suffering a right low-ankle sprain in August, the running back was able to play in the opening game of the season and has not missed any game since then.

The Giants have listed Tracy Jr. as limited in practice twice this week, although it's unclear when or where he reaggravated his ankle injury in the most recent game against the Bengals. His condition will be continuously monitored before Sunday's kickoff in order to gauge his availability for the game against the Falcons.

How has Tyrone Tracy Jr. performed this season?

Tyrone Tracy has frequently shared the workload in the New York Giants' backfield this season with Devin Singletary, but he has still been able to record 151 carries for 695 yards and five touchdowns this season. He has also added 30 receptions for 220 yards and zero touchdowns.

The fact that Tracy Jr. hasn't reached 100 total yards since New York's Nov. 10 defeat to the Carolina Panthers in Germany suggests that his output has somehow decreased in recent weeks. He hasn't been touching the ball as frequently as he did earlier in the season, which is a major factor in the way he has performed over the past four games.

Tracy Jr. played against the New Orleans Saints in Week 14 and finished with 15 touches, the only game in the last four games he has had up to that number. He also had 45 total yards and a touchdown in the contest.
