NY Giants have come out with an injury update regarding Nick Gates who snapped his leg recently
So severe was the impact of the injury Nick Gates suffered in the first quarter of his team’s showdown vs Washington Football Team that even the player ended up saying, “snapped that shit in half,” ensuing the game.
The offensive linesman who had been named as the captain for the new season suffered the injury whilst trying to block Daniel Jones. He ended up tumbling to the ground as he attempted to pass block as his leg rolled up on from behind to see him suffer a gruesome leg fracture as the broadcaster refused to show TV replays of it.
WARNING – this is ugly.
I hate doing this, but seeing as the broadcast isn't showing a replay, here's the footage we got of the Nick Gates injury.
