Giants LT Andrew Thomas could miss “significant time” with foot injury

New York Giants left tackle Andrew Thomas could miss significant time due to a foot injury he suffered in Sunday’s loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, according to a new report.

The New York Post reported that Thomas may have suffered “A significant injury” But he didn’t forget to say what the left tackle, who was injured during the Giants’ 16-play touchdown drive in the third quarter of last week’s loss, actually suffered.

The NFL Network reported that Thomas paid a visit on Tuesday to the well-known foot surgeon Dr. Robert Anderson pays a visit in Charlotte, NC to explore his options.

After Sunday’s loss to the Bengals, Thomas spoke openly about his foot injury, admitting he wasn’t feeling well and was trying to play through the injury. He also confirmed that he would undergo an MRI the day after the game to determine the exact nature of his injury.

Head coach Brian Daboll did not provide an update on Thomas or any of the Giants’ injured players during his Monday video call with reporters. He said he would do so on Wednesday when the team returned to practice.

If Thomas has to miss significant time, the most likely scenario is that Joshua Ezeudu, who trained at left tackle this spring and summer and was thrown into the position last year, gets the nod.

The Giants could also move Jermaine Eluemunor to left tackle and move Evan Neal, who has yet to take a snap this season, to right tackle.

Regardless, missing the potential of Thomas, the Giants’ best offensive lineman, would be a devastating blow to a unit that has not only played every snap together since the start of the season, but has also performed relatively well under the tutelage this season by Carmen Bricillo and James Ferentz.
