Thomas (foot) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Thomas sustained a foot injury in the Giants' Week 6 loss to the Bengals and already underwent season-ending surgery to address the issue, so his move to IR comes as no surprise. Expect Joshua Ezeudu to serve as the Giants' top left tackle with Thomas sidelined for the remainder of the year.

Giants' Andrew Thomas: Officially done for season
Rotowire
Giants head coach Brian Daboll confirmed Wednesday that Thomas underwent season-ending surgery to address a foot injury sustained during the team's Week 6 loss to the Bengals.
Thomas is dealing with a Lisfranc injury in his foot, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com notes that the standout left tackle should be healthy in time for OTAs in the spring, but in the immediate future, his loss is an enormous blow for quarterback Daniel Jones and New York's offense. Heading into Sunday's game against the Eagles, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports that Joshua Ezeudu will work as the Giants' starting left tackle in practice, with Jermaine Eluemunor remaining at right tackle. Thomas, meanwhile, will likely be placed on injured reserve in the near future to open up a spot on the 53-man roster for a healthy player.

Giants' Andrew Thomas: Could have season-ending surgery
Rotowire
Thomas will meet with Dr. Robert Anderson in Charlotte this week and could be commended for season-ending surgery on his foot, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Thomas was nursing a foot injury during Sunday's loss to the Bengals. The injury appears to be significant enough that the 2020 first-round pick will visit a foot specialist to explore his next options. If Thomas opts for surgery, Jermaine Eluemunor or Joshua Ezeudu would be the top candidates to start at left tackle for the rest of the 2024 regular season.

Giants' Andrew Thomas: Getting MRI on foot
Rotowire
Thomas said after Sunday's 17-7 loss to the Bengals that he will undergo an MRI on his foot Monday, Art Stapleton of USA Today reports.
Thomas was bothered by a foot injury during Sunday's loss, and though X-rays returned negative, he'll undergo further testing Monday to get a better idea on the extent of the issue. It's too early to tell whether the injury will affect the left tackle's availability for Week 7 against the Eagles.

Giants' Andrew Thomas: Questionable for Week 9
Rotowire
Thomas (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders, but the Giants are hopeful he'll be available to play, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
Thomas sustained a hamstring injury Week 1 against the Cowboys and hasn't played since. He was a limited participant throughout practices this week, however, giving the Giants some confidence he may be ready to end his streak of absences Sunday. The left tackle should be viewed as a game-time decision, with official word on his status set to arrive when the Giants release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Giants' Andrew Thomas: Out again Week 8
Rotowire
Thomas (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Thomas is set to miss a seventh straight contest due to a hamstring injury he suffered Week 1 versus Dallas. There was initially some optimism that he could return this week, but he came into the weekend considered doubtful to play after logging a trio of limited practice sessions, and Thomas will instead look to get back on the field next Sunday in Las Vegas. The Giants' offensive line has struggled without the star tackle, giving up the second-most sacks in the league through seven weeks.

Giants' Andrew Thomas: Expected back next week
Rotowire
Thomas (hamstring) remains out for Sunday's game against the Commanders but is expected to return to the lineup Week 8 against the Jets, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Thomas hasn't suited up since the Giants' season opener, with Schefter relaying that the left tackle had a setback before the team's Week 4 contest against the Seahawks. The Giants want to make sure he's 100 percent until clearing him to return to game action, but Thomas made enough progress in his recovery this week for the team to be optimistic that he'll be ready to play next week. Justin Pugh or Tyre Phillips will likely start at left tackle in Thomas' stead versus the Commanders.

Giants' Andrew Thomas: Missing another week
Rotowire

Thomas continues to miss time due to a hamstring injury sustained Week 1, and Sunday will mark his sixth absence in a row. With Joshua Ezeudu (toe) now on injured reserve and Matt Peart (shoulder) also ruled out for Week 7, the Giants may have to rearrange things across the O-line in order to find a starter at left tackle versus Washington.

Giants' Andrew Thomas: Still recovering from injury
Rotowire
Thomas (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday.
Thomas' hamstring injury has lingered for longer than expected and the Georgia product remains unable to compete. He's also unlikely to return Sunday against the Dolphins, according to head coach Brian Daboll, as reported by Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com. Although it's likely worth noting that he hasn't officially been ruled out yet. Assuming he is unable to play, Joshua Ezeudu will likely draw the start in his place.

Giants' Andrew Thomas: Misses practice Friday
Rotowire
Thomas (hamstring) did not participate at practice Friday, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
It's a very discouraging sign for Thomas' chances of suiting up Monday versus Seattle. He still hasn't been ruled out for Week 4 officially, but it sure seems likely that it will be 2022 third-rounder Joshua Ezeudu, not Thomas, who starts at left tackle for the Giants versus the Seahawks.

Rotowire
Thomas (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Thursday ahead of Sunday's game at Arizona, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
It's a step in the right direction toward playing in Week 2 after Thomas missed practice entirely Wednesday. He'll still probably need to practice in full Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into Sunday's matchup at the Cardinals, though.

Giants' Andrew Thomas: Sunday's status TBD
Rotowire
Thomas' (hamstring) status for Sunday's game against Arizona is up in the air, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
It seems like New York's All-Pro tackle avoided a worse-case scenario, as he is thought to have avoided a serious injury. Even if he plays Sunday, it's safe to assume he won't be playing at full strength, per Duggan. The Giants play San Francisco's deadly pass rush next Thursday, which could factor into New York's decision of whether to play its star this coming Sunday.

Giants' Andrew Thomas: Inks massive extension
Rotowire
Thomas agreed to a five-year, $117.5 million deal with the Giants on Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
The 2020 first-round pick's new extension includes $67 million guaranteed and will kick in after the 2023 NFL season. After struggling during his first couple years in the league, the Georgia product turned things around and was one of the best offensive linemen in football in 2022, earning second-team All-Pro honors. Thomas' yearly salary comes out to $23.5 million, making him the second-highest paid offensive lineman in the NFL. The 24-year-old will likely continue holding down the left side of the Giants' offensive line for many years to come.

Giants' Andrew Thomas: On books through 2024
Rotowire
The Giants announced Tuesday that Thomas' fifth-year team option for 2024 will be exercised.
The No. 4 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft endured a somewhat rocky start to his professional career, but he's steadily improved since the latter portion of his rookie season and has emerged as a franchise cornerstone at left tackle. The 24-year-old was a second-team All-Pro selection in 2023 while starting in 16 of the Giants' 17 regular-season contests. He'll continue to protect Daniel Jones' blindside through at least the 2024 season, though expect Thomas and the Giants to work out a long-term extension before his rookie deal expires.
