Skura into Giants offense
It’s an injury to the knee that is keeping left guard Shane Lemieux out of the action and that has provided Skura with an opportunity to shine. In the team’s opener last Sunday it was Ben Bredeson who stepped in, a player who was a teammate of Skura at the Ravens.
Across four seasons in Baltimore Skura started 51 games, switching between guard and center.
