Giants Friday Injury Report: Andrew Thomas Questionable

The New York Giants have listed left tackle Andrew Thomas as questionable for Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals.

Thomas, who has been dealing with a hamstring issue suffered in last week's loss to the Dallas Cowboys, was a limited participant all week. While he said he was feeling better every day, Thomas also expressed uncertainty as to whether he'd be available to play on Sunday.

Thomas, who has been a limited participant in practice the last two days after being held out of Wednesday's practice, admitted that dealing with the hamstring hasn't been easy.

"You definitely feel it," he said earlier this week. "Playing with a hamstring, trying to anchor, trying off the ball, it’s not easy, but like I said, everyone plays with injuries. Try not to make excuses; just get healthy."

The feeling is that the Giants will hold Thomas out of Sunday's game against the Cardinals and hope to have him ready four days later when the team plays the 49ers. If they were to do that, one of Matt Peart or Joshua Ezeudu (or perhaps even a rotation) would likely get the start at left tackle against the Cardinals.

"Right now, I am just taking it day by day. That’s the process that I have. It’s been feeling better since it first started when I first hurt it. Just give it time and see how it does," he said.

New York also listed outside linebacker Azeez Ojulari (hamstring) and receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) as doubtful for Sunday's game. Both players have been limited practice participants for the last two days.

Ojulari's injury is concerning because he's picked up where he left off regarding his susceptibility to soft tissue injuries. If he can't play--and the feeling is he won't this week--the Giants are likely to elevate Oshane Ximines from the practice squad to take his place.'

Robinson, meanwhile, is continuing to ramp up after spending all summer on the PUP list as he continued his rehab from a torn ACL. The second-year receiver has said he feels good running around out there, but the team will likely be cautious with him again due to the scheduling of two games in four days.

While no other players received an injury designation, tight end Darren Waller (hamstring/rest) was again limited.

Meanwhile, cornerback Deonte Banks (calf), linebacker Cam Brown (ankle), cornerback Cor’Dale Flott (hamstring), kicker Graham Gano (right ankle), receiver Sterling Shepard (NIR-rest), defensive back Gervarrius Owens (hamstring), and tackle Matt Peart (elbow) were all full participants in Friday's practice.
