Giants' Star Left Tackle Andrew Thomas Out for the Season
The New York Giants’ season took a significant hit with the news that star left tackle Andrew Thomas is out for the year due to a severe foot injury requiring surgery. Thomas, one of the NFL’s top left tackles, was crucial in protecting Daniel Jones' blindside, and his absence will have a major impact on the struggling Giants' offense.
The loss is huge, as Jones has consistently performed better with Thomas on the field. Since 2021, Jones has thrown for 27 touchdowns and 14 interceptions when Thomas plays, averaging 212 yards per game. Without him, Jones' numbers drop to 6 touchdowns and 8 interceptions, with just 162 yards per game. The void left by Thomas will likely be filled by Josh Ezeudu, who has shown varying success in past appearances.
Ezeudu will face a daunting task as the Giants prepare to take on the Philadelphia Eagles’ fierce front seven in a highly anticipated matchup. With Saquon Barkley back in the lineup, this game could shape the rest of New York's season.
