Injury Hamstring
Est. Return 11/29/2025
Not ready to return
Tape (hamstring) trained partially with the team on Tuesday before resuming individual running on Wednesday as he is not yet ready to return, according to Kicker.
ANALYSIS
Tape is not yet ready to return from the hamstring injury that has sidelined him since early October, as he resumed individual running on Wednesday after training partially with the squad on Tuesday. He will likely need more weeks to fully recover and be deemed fit to rejoin the match squad. The young defender started the last two games prior to his injury, but he should resume a rotational role once he is fully fit and if all the regular starters are available in the backline.
