Overview

  • Brian Daboll said Thomas would take a good amount of reps in Wednesday’s practice and described the team as encouraged by his progress.
  • Thomas was listed as a limited participant as he transitions out of the rehab phase from last year’s Lisfranc foot surgery.
  • New York has not declared Thomas available for Sunday night, but his Week 3 home start against the Chiefs remains possible.
  • With Thomas out, James Hudson III drew four penalties on the opening drive in Dallas and was benched for rookie Marcus Mbow in the overtime loss.
  • The Giants view Thomas as vital for run blocking and Russell Wilson’s blind-side protection against Steve Spagnuolo’s front featuring Chris Jones and George Karlaftis, and some media have speculated his return could factor into any future decision on rookie Jaxson Dart at quarterback.
