New York Giants left tackle Will Beatty is scheduled to have surgery on Thanksgiving to repair a detached retina in his right eye. The Giants disclosed the injury late Wednesday afternoon, saying there is no timetable for Beatty's return. He has started at left tackle all season.|||||||
Beatty, bothered by back spasms last week, was hurt Sunday night in a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. He developed blurriness in his eye as the week progressed and the detached retina was diagnosed. The most obvious solution for the Giants (6-4) on Monday night at New Orleans would be to switch guard David Diehl back to left tackle, a position he played for four years. Backup Kevin Boothe can play every position on the line and he usually takes over after an injury.
