The New York Giants will soon find out if they will have wide receiver Golden Tate available for the first quarter of the 2019 season. Tuesday, Tate will leave practice — he might even have to leave practice early — and immediately head to New York City to make his case regarding his suspension for a performance enhancing substance.
Tate’s suspension was originally announced by the NFL on July 27th, adding another hit to an already-reeling Giants’ receiving corps.
Tate’s appeal will be heard by an independent arbitrator who has been agreed upon by both the NFL and NFLPA.
