When New York Giants offensive lineman Nick Gates went down with a fractured leg in Week 2 of last season, he knew it was bad. But it wasn’t until later that he realized just how bad.
At the time, Gates was just focused on reassuring his teammates and family that he was fine.
“I’m good,” Gates told his family during a FaceTime call, as told by ESPN. “I broke my leg. It snapped in half. But I’ll be good.”
