The New York Giants could possibly be in for an enormous blow if the MRI on All-Professional left sort out Andrew Thomas’ foot comes again optimistic.
Thomas was clearly in ache on the sector after struggling the damage “someplace on the scoring drive” in the midst of the third quarter.
After the sport, Thomas revealed to reporters that he was hurting though he didn’t come off the sector in the course of the recreation, taking part in each offensive snap.
As the sport neared its finish, Thomas was struggling to play his place.
“Yeah, simply preventing,” he mentioned earlier than saying that his efficiency on the night time was “not adequate.”
“A few of it’s sore, so I don’t know precisely what it’s,” he mentioned. “I didn’t get imaging. I believe I’m alleged to go tomorrow… They mentioned I wanted the MRI to see precisely what’s occurring.”
Head coach Brian Daboll instructed reporters on Monday he had no replace on Thomas’ situation however would when the workforce got here again from their time off on Wednesday.
Thomas was trying ahead to taking part in a full season this 12 months after lacking seven video games as a consequence of a hamstring damage suffered in Week 1 final season.
Thomas has been the anchor of a rejuvenated Giants offensive line that’s graded the 14th-best pass-blocking unit within the NFL by Professional Soccer Focus this season. He has allowed 4.0 sacks on 16 pressures in six video games to this point this 12 months, incomes a pass-blocking grade of 71.8.
The Giants face the Eagles this Sunday and may Thomas not have the ability to reply the bell, the Giants must go Plan B.
That plan would doubtless entail flipping proper sort out Jermaine Eluemunor over to the left facet and inserting the much-maligned Evan Neal at proper sort out.
For the 2-4 Giants, the very last thing they want is one other rash of key accidents as they attempt to claw their approach again into competition.
