JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — New York Giants rookie tight end Daniel Bellinger was taken to a hospital with a bloody eye injury during a game Sunday at Jacksonville.
Bellinger took an inadvertent fist in the face, and maybe a finger to the eye, from Jaguars rookie linebacker Devin Lloyd in the second quarter Sunday. Team trainers wore gloves while they tried to stop the bleeding. and Bellinger's eye appeared to be swollen shut as he was carted off the field.
A fourth-round pick from San Diego State, Bellinger entered the game with 15 receptions for 139 yards and two touchdowns. He also had a rushing touchdown.
Bellinger's injury was the latest for the 5-1 Giants, who were trying to match their best start since 2008 with a victory in Jacksonville.
