Return of Giants left tackle Andrew Thomas slated against the Chiefs

In a highly anticipated clash between the New York Giants and the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night, one key player's status remains uncertain: left tackle Andrew Thomas. Thomas, a standout player for the Giants, is listed as a game-time decision due to a foot injury.

The 26-year-old Thomas, who was the fourth overall pick in the 2020 draft, has started 60 out of 61 games since then. His long absence from the game, however, is a cause for concern. Giants coach Brian Daboll stated that Thomas's injury is a collection of everything that needs to be considered.

Thomas has been sidelined for more than 11 months due to a Lisfranc fracture in his left foot, which he sustained in Game 6 of last season. During this time, he has been working diligently with his team to find creative ways to build his cardio base and stamina.

Thomas has been practicing for three consecutive days, a significant milestone since his injury. He is feeling good and is working on building his volume and confidence. However, he is being cautious and is not considering himself as full-go for the game.

Giants coach Brian Daboll will be paying close attention to Thomas leading up to the game. If Thomas is able to play, it will be a boost for the 0-2 Giants as they look to turn their season around against the Chiefs.

Thomas's return could also be significant for the Giants' offensive line, which has struggled so far this season. In 2022, Thomas earned second-team All-Pro honors, demonstrating his potential and impact on the team.

The Giants have listed Thomas as questionable on their injury report for Sunday's game. Fans and analysts alike will be eagerly waiting to see if Thomas will take the field and help the Giants secure a much-needed victory.
