Nick Gates Placed On Injured Reserve
3 years agoThe New York Giants placed offensive lineman Nick Gates (leg) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday after he suffered a gruesome leg injury in the Week 2 loss to the Washington Football Team last Thursday. Gates was making his first career start at left guard when he fractured his lower left leg and was carted off the field. Gates underwent surgery in D.C. the following day. The 25-year-old had started the previous 17 games at center before moving to guard when Shane Lemieux was placed on IR last week. The Giants also gave Billy Price the start at center last week. Price is expected to remain as the starting center, while Ben Bredeson should take over duties at left guard. It wouldn't be a surprise if Gates missed the rest of the 2021 season.
