Giants left guard Nick Gates suffered a broken lower left leg with 5:57 left in the first quarter of the Week 2 Thursday Night Football game. By video, he was rolled up on by a defender while engaged in a block. His leg was placed in an aircast splint by the Washington Football Team's training staff, which is standard procedure for a severe injury like that. The hope is the bone did not break through the skin and there is no nerve artery damage from the break. The Nebraska alum suffered the injury on the same field that Alex Smith and Joe Theismann also suffered broken legs. Gates was a center who slid to left guard with Shane Lemieux out.
