Andrew Thomas Missed His Second Straight Practice, And The Giants Are Crossing Their Fingers For Sunday

Andrew Thomas, the New York Giants star left tackle, was a no-show for his second straight practice on Thursday due0 to a groin injury. This is the kind of news that makes you hold your breath, even if the team is trying to play it cool.

Star Tackle’s Status Is Anyone’s Guess For Arizona

This is getting concerning, right? Thomas originally picked up this groin injury back in Week 2 during the game against the Los Angeles Rams. The kicker? He then turned around and played the *entire* Week 3 game against the Tennessee Titans. That’s a tough dude. What’s even wilder is that this veteran tackle has been on the team’s injury report for every single game this season, battling a history of leg and foot issues. But get this: he’s still been out there for all 191 of the team’s offensive snaps. So, while he’s missing practice, his track record says he battles. Still, missing two straight practices can’t feel great heading into a Sunday matchup. The big question for the Giants is if he’ll be available for that game against the Arizona Cardinals, and honestly, it’s still anyone’s guess.

Tracy Back, But Other Giants Still Limited

It wasn’t all bad news on the injury front, at least. Running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. made a partial return to practice on Thursday after sitting out Wednesday with a knee issue. That’s a positive sign. However, the Giants’ injury report still listed some key players with limited participation, including cornerback Deonte Banks with a calf injury and safety Tyler Nubin also dealing with a calf issue. On the bright side, Elijah Campbell (foot), Nic Jones (shoulder), and Patrick Ricard (nose) were all full participants in practice.

So, all eyes are on Thomas as Sunday approaches. The Giants are set to face the Arizona Cardinals, and whether their star left tackle will be leading the charge on the offensive line remains, officially, uncertain. It’s a real wait-and-see situation for the Giants faithful.
