When Sterling Shepard heard on Wednesday that Nick Gates was going to be suited up at practice after recovering from a leg injury, he changed his plans.
But when the injured Giants receiver heard on Wednesday morning that Nick Gates was going to be suited up at practice for the first time since he shattered his lower left leg in Week 2 last season at Washington, he changed his plans.
Giants head coach Brian Daboll wasn’t around for Gates’ injury, but he’s tuned in enough with his players to know what Gates means to them. That’s why he called on Gates to “break down’’ the team after its pre-practice walk-through on Wednesday. Nick Gates, who has suited up for the first time since breaking his leg last season, greets a Giants coach during practice.“Much respect to really anybody that comes back from injuries, but his injuries were significant,’’ Daboll said. “All the surgeries and he’s had nothing but a positive mindset since he’s been here. The guys were hooting and hollering when he was breaking them down. You root for guys like that.
Gates said the coaches “gave me four plays of team [drills], which is about half our team reps, and then I did all of [individual drills] and I did everything else everybody else did.’’Asked if he’ll be ready in 21 days, Gates said, “I’m going to have to. It’s all I’ve got. I feel good. I didn’t think I was going to be back out there this fast.’’
