Ever since veteran offensive guard Will Hernandez went on the COVID-19 list earlier in the season, he hasn’t started a game. For the past eight weeks rookie Shane Lemieux has taken over in his spot. And this isn’t because Hernandez can’t play because he was cleared shortly after being placed on the COVID list.
It sounds like the Giants would rather develop Lemieux. New York head coach Joe Judge was asked about Lemieux getting a lot more playing time than Hernandez.
“We’re continuing to roll our linemen throughout the game. There hasn’t been a designated snap count on any player going in,” explained Judge.
