In a hard-fought battle against the Bengals on Sunday night, Giants left tackle Andrew Thomas was visibly struggling in the final minutes of the game. Now, as he looks ahead to the week, Thomas is set to undergo tests on Monday to determine the extent of his injury.
After the 17-7 defeat, Thomas candidly admitted to reporters that his foot was “not great” and expressed his plans to undergo imaging to get a more precise diagnosis. “They said I needed the MRI to see exactly what’s going on,” Thomas revealed in a transcript from the team.
Reflecting on his performance, Thomas didn’t mince words, acknowledging that his play was “not good enough.” He also mentioned a particular play where he was penalized for being an ineligible receiver downfield on a 56-yard completion to wide receiver Darius Slayton. Interestingly, Thomas noted that a similar situation had occurred in Week Five and emphasized the unpredictability of such calls when the Giants execute run-pass option plays. “Sometimes they call it, sometimes they don’t,” Thomas remarked.
As the Giants look to regroup for Week Seven, much will depend on the results of Thomas’ MRI. The team will undoubtedly be hoping for positive news that will enable Thomas to take the field and contribute to their upcoming game. The coming days will be crucial as the Giants await further updates on the condition of their key lineman.
