Giants' Tyler Fitzgerald: Injury Expected to Be Minor
What Happened?
Tyler Fitzgerald, a 26-year-old guard for the New York Giants, suffered a left ankle injury during Wednesday's practice.
Fitzgerald was participating in a team drill when he went down awkwardly. He was helped off the field by trainers and was unable to put any weight on his left leg.
Injury Severity
The Giants have not yet released an official diagnosis, but Fitzgerald's injury is not expected to be serious.
Sources within the team believe that Fitzgerald may have suffered a sprain, which would likely keep him out of action for a few weeks.
MRI Results
Fitzgerald underwent an MRI on his ankle, which confirmed the inicial diagnosis of a sprain.
Impact on the Giants
Fitzgerald is a key backup for the Giants, and his injury could be a blow to the team's depth.
If Fitzgerald is unable to play, the Giants will likely turn to Ben Bredeson or Jamil Douglas to fill his role as a backup guard.
Fitzgerald's Outlook
Fitzgerald is expected to make a full recovery from his ankle injury.
He is likely to miss the Giants' preseason game against the New York Jets on Sunday, but he is expected to be ready for the regular season.
