The status of New York Giants star left tackle Andrew Thomas for Sunday’s season-opening game against the Washington Commanders remains murky.
The Giants practiced in full pads on Wednesday, with head coach Brian Daboll saying “everybody will be out there” before he headed to practice.
That included Thomas, who was on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list until shortly before the preseason finale as he continues to recover from Lisfranc surgery for an injury that cost him the final 11 games of the 2024 season.
“Each day he is improving,” Daboll said of Thomas.
The 2022 second-team All-Pro admitted recently that it has been “a tough recovery.”
“I’ve talked to different doctors, different surgeons that have different opinions. I think part of it, coming back from an injury like this, there will be some soreness that you have to manage and get through,” Thomas said. “My biggest concern is making sure I can’t make it worse or re-injure it, so I’m just trying to take my time, stick with the plan that they’re giving me, and see where it goes.
“It’s just a tough injury for heavier guys.”
If Thomas can’t play, James Hudson would start at left tackle for the Giants.
Full injury statuses will be added when they are made available.
