In week one, the New York Giants did not have offensive tackle Andrew Thomas available because of an injury. Injuries have been the story throughout Thomas's career.
As the Giants prepare for a week two battle against the Dallas Cowboys, it appears as if there are questions about Thomas's status for the game. If Thomas were to miss a second straight game, James Hudson will most likely be the starting left tackle. Hudson started last week against the Washington Commanders. Fans want to see rookie Marcus Mbow start at left tackle instead. How are Giants fans acting to the possibility of Thomas potentially missing another game?
New York Giants Fans are Very Frustrated with Andrew Thomas Potentially Missing Another Game
Dan Duggan of the Athletic covers the Giants and posted on his Twitter page about the latest Thomas injury update for Sunday's game against the Cowboys. Duggan said,
"Daboll tried to keep the door open for Andrew Thomas to make his debut on Sunday, but it seems like a long shot. He's still basically in rehab mode. This isn't a player returning from a one-week absence with a rolled ankle. He hasn't played in a game in 11 months. The fact that Daboll can't say 48 hours before kickoff that Thomas will play, seems like a strong sign that he won't be ready. Would think they'll want him to have a full week of practices building up to playing before he's back."
With this major update about the Giants left tackle, there are a lot of outraged Giants fans that Thomas is on the verge of missing another game.
I’m so sick of this.

welp, Hudson has turned out to be basically unplayable. Any shot we see Mbow at LT? It legitimately can’t be worse than the performance Hudson had last week.

Has to be Week 3 or 4 the latest otherwise another failure for not starting him on IR.

At this point, it seems to be a mystery when Thomas is going to return for the Giants. The offensive line has been a mess for New York over the last decade. If he does not return by the week three matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, there is a good chance that Thomas may not play much in the 2025 season. There is also a good chance that New York may have to fix its offensive line issues again during the upcoming offseason.
