Wilson, a second-year man out of Virginia Tech, scored on a five-yard run early in the first quarter to put the Giants up 7-0. It was his first touchdown of the season. He had six carries for 16 yards before exiting.
Brandon Jacobs will fill in during Wilson's absence.
The Giants came into the season hoping Wilson could replace Ahmad Bradshaw as the team's primary running option. Ineffectiveness and turnover problems have hampered his success, however. He is averaging just 3.4 yards per carry and has two fumbles so far in 2013.
