The New York Giants' injury situation for their Week 2 game against the Dallas Cowboys is improving.

Head coach Brian Daboll told reporters before Thursday's practice that left tackle Andrew Thomas, who sat out of Wednesday's session, would not only practice but also do team reps, a welcome sign for the starting left tackle who hopes to be ready for this weekend’s must-win divisional game.

Thomas would likely need to string together two straight days of practice activity in some capacity if he’s to have a realistic chance of playing on Sunday.

In other injury news, receiver Malik Nabers (back) was expected to take his full practice rep workload today after being limited. Fellow receiver WAn’Dale Robinson (ankle) was also back at practice after sitting out Wednesday’s session.

New daddy Dexter Lawrence returned to practice after being excused from Wednesday’s session to be with his wife and new baby daughter. 

Linebacker Demetrius Flannigan-Fowels, who landed on the injury report with a calf strain, was held out of practice. Also receiver Darius Slayton (groin) and defensive lineman Rakeem Nunez-Roches (foot) were added to the injury report, both listed as limited.
