Pre-game updates
Lemieux to start
Multiple reports are indicating that Shane Lemieux will get the start for the Giants at left guard on Thursday. When starting left guard Ben Bredeson went down Sunday, Mark Glowinski filled in. Glowinski had been replaced at right guard for that game by Marcus McKethan. His appearance at left guard was his first since 2016.
Lemieux entered training camp in both 2021 and 2022 as the starter at left guard only to have injuries derail both seasons. He appeared in only one game in each of those seasons.
Saquon update
So, Saquon Barkley apparently does have a high ankle sprain. [Full story]
So ... @TaylorRooks just reported on @NFLonPrime that Saquon Barkley told her his right ankle sprain IS, in fact, a "high ankle sprain." And that not playing tonight was simply a pain tolerance issue. Next game isn't until the following Monday at home vs. Seattle.
