Will Hernandez and Nick Gates grew up about 20 minutes away from each other in Las Vegas. On Sunday, they could find themselves even closer than that. They could be the starting left side of the Giants’ offensive line.
“Two Vegas kids not only on the same team but playing next to each other? That’s pretty cool,” Gates said on Monday of the possibility.
That’s all it is right now, a possibility. Starting left tackle Nate Solder is in the concussion protocol and missed Monday’s workout attending to a personal matter, so his status is unclear.
