(Taylor) loves his Call of Duty. He was sitting there, he had a fair stint the day after the game – a long stint treating himself after we got a win, Hately told SEN.
He thought he was just sitting down for too long and he started off with a bit of a sore glute and he thought Ive just been playing too much COD.
It just gradually got a little bit worse and it went from there. It was just a really weird one that came out of nowhere.
Hately said he had visited Taylor in hospital since, where he is expected to remain for the next couple of days.

I got to see it pretty close and it was such a strange one, he said.
Just out of nowhere all of a sudden started feeling a bit sore and there was no real cause that they could find.
But I visited him yesterday, hes in the hospital and hes on some antibiotics, but I think the good thing everyones all across it now and everyone knows what it is.
It was pretty scary for him there for a little bit – just not being able to walk too well and just not really knowing whats going on.
But hes in good spirits and he should be out of hospital by the end of the week and then hell start his process of getting back (on the field).
Taylor burst on the scene in 2019, playing 22 of a possible 26 games for the Giants.
