Giants running back Wayne Gallman was taken into the locker room during Sunday's matchup with the Vikings to be evaluated for a concussion. SNY's Ralph Vacchiano has reported and confirmed that Gallman will be out for the remainder of the game with a concussion.

Gallman was shaken up after a run in the first quarter and walked off the field slowly before heading back into the locker room. Gallman carryed the ball twice for 14 yards before leaving the game.

The Giants are now left with just rookie Jon Hilliman at the running back position with Saquon Barkley also out with a high ankle sprain. FB Eli Penny has come in to share the ball carrying duties with Hilliman.
