New York Giants guard Shane Lemieux's season over after knee surgery

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- New York Giants starting left guard Shane Lemieux underwent surgery Wednesday at Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan to repair the patella tendon in his left knee. He is expected to miss the rest of the season.

The Giants' already questionable offensive line only gets more troubling with Lemieux out. They also lost Nick Gates to a fractured leg last week. Gates started the opener at center before moving to left guard Week 2 against Washington.

Recently acquired Ben Bredeson is now expected to be their third starting left guard in three weeks when the Giants host the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.
