On Wednesday, second-year Giants left guard Shane Lemieux underwent knee surgery to repair a partial tear of his patellar tendon. According to Dan Salomone of the Giants official website, the procedure was expected to end Lemieux’s 2021 regular season.
However, head coach Joe Judge has provided an eye-opening update, and did so with some optimism in his voice.
Judge told the media Thursday that Lemieux’s procedure “might not be season-ending,” per Madelyn Burke of the team’s website. Thus, there’s a chance Shane could return at some point down the road.
