Andrew

Thomas

Carter got in one limited practice to close the week before being listed as questionable. That would normally make him a coin-flip at best to play today, head coach John Harbaugh was optimistic about Carter’s health early in the week. He is good to go, as is left tackle Andrew Thomas, who is dealing with a groin injury. He has played through the groin issue several times already and will do so again versus the Saints.

This is a marked downgrade for Thomas, as he had been skipping plenty of practice days but at least had been cleared off the injury report on Fridays the last few weeks. John Harbaugh said Thomas was “basically full go” today, which seems sketchy in light of this listing. If we take the coach at his word, it seems likely that Thomas will play through this. Ditto Jermaine Eluemunor, who also is questionable after missing the first two days of practice.

Thomas, the Giants’ left tackle, RT Jermaine Eluemunor (calf) and EDGE Abdul Carter (calf) were all seen without jerseys, working on the side field with the training staff today. Expect to see all three listed as non-participants. Thomas has played through a couple of injuries this season, and seemingly has a good chance of suiting up in Week 6 against the Saints.

Eluemunor told reporters he felt his calf pop during Week 5 against the Commanders. He left the game and Marcus Mbow took his spot at right tackle. Head coach John Harbaugh called him day-to-day on Monday, so it’s at least not a long-term issue, though he still looks like a coin flip for Week 6. Left tackle Andrew Thomas did not practice, though that’s standard fare for him as he continues to play through a groin injury.

According to Raanan, Eluemunor felt his calf pop and left today’s game against the Commanders. Fortunately, he was able to walk around on his own, which is a good sign. The Giants went to Marcus Mbow at right tackle in Eluemunor’s absence.

Thomas is on the Terron Armstead plan — very limited practice reps, zero chance of him missing the game. He only got in a limited session on Friday after a pair of DNPs on Wednesday and Thursday. It does not actually seem to matter. Thomas will go.

The Giants’ RB3 is seemingly on track to be active for Week 4 against the Cardinals. Unfortunately, Giants LT Andrew Thomas (groin) was not seen practicing during the portion of practice open to the media. He did not practice yesterday either and should currently be considered questionable to play.

The Giants’ backup is not presently fantasy-relevant, and a knee injury certainly won’t improve his stock, though coach John Harbaugh said he is only “day-to-day.” Giants LT Andrew Thomas (groin) was also sidelined, but he played through it last week.

Players aren’t always the most reliable source and Thomas may still be listed as questionable, but Thomas did practice in full today per John Harbaugh. The Giants star left tackle will protect Jameis Winston against the Titans.

Thomas left the Giants’ Week 2 game against the Rams with a groin injury. He dealt with an ankle injury in practice last week. It is possible that fill-in starter, QB Jameis Winston, will be without his top pass protector in Week 3 against the Titans. Thomas was limited yesterday. It appears as though he will be a DNP today.
