EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- New York Giants offensive tackle Matt Gono likely has a career-ending neck injury, a source told ESPN.
Gono, 26, underwent surgery on his neck last year with the Atlanta Falcons. He missed all of the 2021 season, but signed with the Giants this offseason and felt fine entering camp.
But problems started to surface this week when the Giants had their first fully-padded practice. Gono started to experience symptoms in his neck, and left the team to consult with the doctor who performed the surgery. That appointment left those close to the offensive tackle believing his football-playing days were likely over.
