Russell Wilson Played Through Torn Hamstring

Tuesday, January 6, 12:39 PM

New York Giants quarterback Russell Wilson (hamstring) revealed on Monday that he played part of this past season with an undisclosed torn hamstring, according to Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic. The 37-year-old veteran said he suffered the injury on the final play of the Friday practice before the Week 2 contest against the Dallas Cowboys. Wilson said he suffered a Grade 2 tear, but he didn't tell the team. Despite the injury, Wilson threw for 450 yards and three touchdowns in the 40-37 overtime loss, also adding 23 rushing yards on three carries. He said he didn't tell the Giants because of the circumstances of knowing that he was trying to hold off rookie QB Jaxson Dart from taking over the starting duties. Wilson eventually lost the starting gig to Dart. At this point in his career, Wilson profiles as a backup signal-caller as he looks to continue playing into the 2026 season.

Jimmy Garoppolo on the Dolphins Radar

Tuesday, March 3, 1:51 PM

Los Angeles Rams backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is on the Miami Dolphins' radar this offseason as they look to rebuild their QB room, according to Barry Jackson of The Miami Herald. Former first-rounder Tua Tagovailoa is expected to be released soon. Quinn Ewers and Cam Miller are the only other signal-callers on their roster, so Miami is unsurprisingly interested in adding a veteran QB to push Ewers and to possibly serve as the backup. The Dolphins will be in on Green Bay Packers impending free-agent QB Malik Willis, but they'll be bidding against plenty of other teams for his services as the QB with the most upside in this free-agent class. The 34-year-old Garoppolo has 12 years of NFL experience, but he has appeared in just 11 games (seven starts) since the start of the 2023 season. Jimmy G didn't attempt a single pass in 2025 in three appearances.
