• A rotation at left tackle remains possible with rookie Marcus Mbow, who stepped in for James Hudson III after multiple penalties in Week 2.
• Thomas' return comes as the 0–2 Giants seek stability up front after Russell Wilson was sacked five times across the first two games.
• He began camp on PUP and progressed cautiously following Lisfranc surgery, with ESPN and NFL Network reporting throughout the week that a Week 3 return was expected.
