NEW YORK GIANTS star Nick Gates had to be carted off after he 'snapped' his leg in a horror injury.

The offensive lineman suffered the gruesome leg injury on Thursday after a Washington opponent landed with his entire body weight.

He writhed around in pain before doctors rushed on to tend to the stricken star.

But the 25-year-old was in good spirits after the match despite the horror leg break.

But the player's agent, Jonathan Perzley, took to Instagram to reveal that Gates had even 'laughed' about the injury.

Perzley said: "Not a tougher player on the planet than Gates.

"He laughed on the phone and said 'I snapped that s*** in half.'
