Nick Gates is nearing the end of a remarkable journey.
The Giants will add the offensive lineman to their active roster Wednesday, according to ESPN. Gates has not played in a game since suffering a gruesome leg injury last September. And there was doubt he would play again as recently as this spring.
Gates broke his fibula and tibia and later developed compartment syndrome. He has undergone seven surgeries in total. Gates has been on the physically unable to perform list all season long, but has been practicing in recent weeks.
