The Giants suffered their first loss under Coach McAdoo in falling 29-27 to the Washington Redskins on Sunday. The loss (with the Giants turning the ball over three times and blowing a late lead) was not the only loss they suffered. On Monday, the Giants announced that their pass-catching running back Shane Vereen sustained a torn triceps tendon and was facing surgery. He has been placed on IR (injured reserve) and will be eligible to return in 10 weeks.

Dr. Timothy P. Leddy, one of our hand and upper extremity surgery specialists, explains the triceps tendon injury and surgical options in the Football Injury Update on WFAN. Dr. Leddy describes the implications for surgery, surgical technique, and rehabilitation for Vereen’s return to play.

We have partnered with WFAN 660 AM/101.9 FM to bring you the weekly Football Injury Update, a recap of the top injuries across the NFL with our doctors providing their expert medical opinion on the injury, treatment options, and prognosis to return to the field of play. The Football Injury Update will air each Thursday and Friday on Mike Francesa’s show between 1:00 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.
