Giants' Andrew Thomas: Lining up to play Sunday
Rotowire
Thomas (foot), who remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, is planning to play, Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL Network report.
Thomas is recovering from a Lisfranc injury and didn't play in the Giants' first two games, but he's seemingly trending toward making his debut after a week of limited practices. The Giants are still keen on taking a cautious approach with the standout left tackle, whose availability ahead of the 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff will be determined based on his activity in a pregame workout. If Thomas is ultimately held out or is limited Sunday, Marcus Mbow or James Hudson would be the main candidates to replace him at left tackle.

The 2020 first-round pick from Georgia has missed the Giants' last 13 games due to a foot injury sustained in October of 2024, but after a week of limited practice, he's got a chance to return in Week 3.

Rotowire
Thomas (foot) didn't practice Wednesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Raanan added that this is part of head coach Brian Daboll's plan for Thomas' recovery, and he will practice both Thursday and Friday.

Giants' Andrew Thomas: Not yet ready to practice
Rotowire
The Giants placed Thomas (foot) on the active/PUP list Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.
Thomas ended the 2024 campaign on IR due to a Lisfranc injury and isn't far enough into his recovery to practice. New York has stated an intent to be cautious with Thomas' return, but there remains a decent chance that he'll be ready to go by Week 1 of the regular season. Thomas' ability to stay healthy this year will likely be a critical factor in the performance of New York's offensive line.

Rotowire
Thomas (foot) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Giants' Andrew Thomas: Officially done for season
Rotowire
Giants head coach Brian Daboll confirmed Wednesday that Thomas underwent season-ending surgery to address a foot injury sustained during the team's Week 6 loss to the Bengals.
Thomas is dealing with a Lisfranc injury in his foot, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com notes that the standout left tackle should be healthy in time for OTAs in the spring, but in the immediate future, his loss is an enormous blow for quarterback Daniel Jones and New York's offense. Heading into Sunday's game against the Eagles, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports that Joshua Ezeudu will work as the Giants' starting left tackle in practice, with Jermaine Eluemunor remaining at right tackle. Thomas, meanwhile, will likely be placed on injured reserve in the near future to open up a spot on the 53-man roster for a healthy player.

Rotowire
Thomas will meet with Dr. Robert Anderson in Charlotte this week and could be commended for season-ending surgery on his foot, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Thomas was nursing a foot injury during Sunday's loss to the Bengals. The injury appears to be significant enough that the 2020 first-round pick will visit a foot specialist to explore his next options.

Giants' Andrew Thomas: Expected back next week
Rotowire
Thomas (hamstring) remains out for Sunday's game against the Commanders but is expected to return to the lineup Week 8 against the Jets, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Thomas hasn't suited up since the Giants' season opener, with Schefter relaying that the left tackle had a setback before the team's Week 4 contest against the Seahawks. The Giants want to make sure he's 100 percent until clearing him to return to game action, but Thomas made enough progress in his recovery this week for the team to be optimistic that he'll be ready to play next week.
