Andrew Thomas’ Giants status remains mystery with a ticking clock
NY Post
With 10 days until the Giants open their season on the road against the Commanders, concerns about left tackle Andrew Thomas’ status are not dissipating.
Rather, Thomas, who suffered a Lisfranc injury last October, missed the rest of the season after getting surgery and missed nearly all of training camp, said Thursday he was “not sure yet” whether he’ll play against the Commanders.
“I haven’t really done a ton of reps,” he said. “I’ve done some [individual drills], took some one-on-one reps. I’m just trying to progress slowly, so we’ll see. But like I said, I’m not making any projections right now.”
Losing Thomas, one of their best players, for any period would be a major blow to the Giants, who would likely turn to James Hudson III in his absence. With Thomas playing just six games last season, the Giants allowed 48 sacks, ranking 21st in the league.
After speaking with a bigger group of reporters Thursday, Thomas also told The Athletic that he had a second surgery in April to have the screw that was inserted into his foot in October removed, adding to his recovery timeline.
Thomas participated in practice on Wednesday with pads, but did not take any reps with the team. He sat Thursday, but described himself as “feeling good.”
