Giants draft bust could be surprise trade lifeline after crushing injury blow

For once, it isn’t the New York Giants dealing with an offensive line crisis. While Big Blue's front has quietly become semi-reliable, the Los Angeles Chargers just lost one of their cornerstones. According to The Athletic’s Daniel Popper, second-year offensive tackle Joe Alt will miss the rest of the season after undergoing ankle surgery — a crushing blow to a team already down star left tackle Rashawn Slater.

Alt’s injury leaves Bolts quarterback Justin Herbert exposed behind a patchwork line that’s losing bodies faster than the Giants blow leads.
