Giants rookie offensive lineman out for season after tearing ACL in scrimmage

The New York Giants spent the entire offseason cleaning up former GM’s Dave Gettleman’s mess and finally fixing their offensive line. But one lineman is done before the season even starts.

Rookie Marcus McKethan tore his ACL during the Giants’ instrasquad scrimmage at MetLife Stadium Friday night and will miss the season.

The 22-year-old was carted off the field after getting injured while pass blocking.

The G-Men took McKethan in the fifth round out of the University of North Carolina.
