What does Tyrone Tracy have in store for an encore?
With the Giants’ top offensive weapon, rookie receiver Malik Nabers, out with a concussion and starting running back Devin Singletary out with a groin injury, the Giants’ rookie running back had a profession day against the Seahawks last Sunday.
He rushed for 129 yards on 18 carries, a 7.2-yard average.
With Singletary listed as questionable for Sunday night’s game against the Bengals at MetLife Stadium, this could possibly be an enormous game for Tracy again.
“I need to prove that this isn’t only a one-time thing,’’ Tracy told The Post on Friday. “I need to prove that I can go on the market and have one other good game. I don’t really have any expectation based off of my last game. I’m happening the identical mindset of whatever opportunities I get, I’m just going to attempt to take full advantage.’’
Giants left tackle Andrew Thomas praised Tracy’s performance against Seattle.
“He did a superb job in a troublesome environment of knowing his keys and never just running the ball but in protection,” Thomas said Friday.
“He ran it very well, had a hell of a game, somewhat of a coming-out party,” Giants receiver Darius Slayton said Friday. “But obviously, it’s a week-to-week league, so he has one other probability this week to go on the market and show he’s got.
“We all know what sort of player he’s, but every game is its own game. So, you never know the way it’s going to present itself. I expect his talent to indicate similar to it did last week again this week.”
In non-Nabers injury news, punter Jamie Gillan turned up on the injury report Friday with a hamstring issue that limited him in practice and he’s listed as questionable for Sunday’s game.
This brings back bad memories of Giants kicker Graham Gano seemingly wonderful entering the Washington game then turning up lame in pregame, leaving the Giants to play the sport with out a kicker.
They lost 21-18 after having to go for two-point conversions after touchdowns.
It’s not known whether the Giants may bring an emergency punter in on Saturday in case Gillan’s hamstring issue doesn’t clear up.
Brian Daboll indicated that CBs Adoree’ Jackson (calf) and Dru Phillips (calf and shoulder) “are going good.”
He said the corners are “ahead” of Singletary, who’s questionable and said Friday he was in a “gray area” when it comes to his availability.
WR Bryce Ford-Wheaton, who returned the blocked punt for a touchdown Sunday in Seattle and didn’t practice Thursday with a shoulder injury, is listed as questionable for the sport.
Guard Jon Runyan Jr., who missed the past two days with an illness, returned to practice Friday and is predicted to play Sunday.
DL D.J. Davidson, who was on Thursday’s injury report as a limited participant with a shoulder injury, will play.
LB Brian Burns (groin) was limited in practice but is predicted to play Sunday.
