Overview

• Thomas said he is not sure he will play on Sept. 7 at Washington after taking only individual and one-on-one reps in camp.
• Activated from the PUP list just before the preseason finale, he has yet to participate in any 11-on-11 work and only logged his first padded practice this week.
• Head coach Brian Daboll called him day to day, with a planned Friday running session set to guide next week’s practice plan.
• If he is unavailable, the Giants are considering James Hudson III at left tackle or shifting Jermaine Eluemunor or Evan Neal to that spot.
• Protection drops steeply without Thomas, as the Giants allowed 34 of their 48 sacks last season after his midyear injury, underscoring the decision’s importance.
