Giants Left Tackle Andrew Thomas Sits Out Practices, Raising Week 4 Questions

The midweek absence threatens pass protection for starter Jameis Winston and has the Giants watching Friday reports for a game-day decision.

Overview

  • Thomas was listed as a nonparticipant on the Giants' practice reports this week with a groin issue after playing every snap in the Tennessee game, and coaches have not assigned a game status.
  • Head coach John Harbaugh said Thomas “should be fine,” but the team continues to treat his availability as uncertain and will monitor Friday and game-day designations.
  • Running back Tyrone Tracy missed a practice with a knee issue and is considered day-to-day, which could reduce short-term depth behind the starters.
  • Cornerback Deonte Banks and safety Tyler Nubin were limited with calf issues and Malik Harrison did not practice with a groin injury and was not added to the 53-man roster.
  • The injuries add to earlier losses this season, including Brian Burns to injured reserve, increasing the Giants' reliance on backups and making short-term schematic or roster moves more likely.
