NY Giants LT Andrew Thomas Takes Another Step Closer to His Return

Thomas continues to trend upward toward his return from lisfranc surgery.

New York Giants left tackle Andrew Thomas took another step toward playing for the first time in the regular season since last year’s season-ending foot injury in Week 5.

Thomas, who was limited in Wednesday’s practice, came through that session just fine, according to head coach Brian Daboll, who said that the veteran left tackle “took a lot of reps” in that padless session.

Thomas, Daboll added, was set to follow a similar pattern of reps for Thursday, which was also a padless practice, which meant a lot more reps for Thomas as he inches closer to a return. 

“It’s just a positive sign with how many reps he took (Wednesday) that he’ll do the same thing today, or similar. Not backing off or anything like that,” Daboll told reporters before the team’s Thursday practice.

The Giants' head coach stopped short of saying whether Thomas would be in the starting lineup on Sunday night when the Giants host the Kansas City Chiefs for Sunday Night Football. 

Daboll said they’ll continue to monitor how Thomas is feeling after each practice and make the decision once the week of practices is done.
