The Giants announced Tuesday that Thomas' fifth-year team option for 2024 will be exercised.

EDGE Analysis

The No. 4 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft endured a somewhat rocky start to his professional career, but he's steadily improved since the latter portion of his rookie season and has emerged as a franchise cornerstone at left tackle. The 24-year-old was a second-team All-Pro selection in 2023 while starting in 16 of the Giants' 17 regular-season contests. He'll continue to protect Daniel Jones' blindside through at least the 2024 season, though expect Thomas and the Giants to work out a long-term extension before his rookie deal expires.

Thomas (illness) is active Thursday against Dallas.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas has been dealing with an illness and was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's practice report before being bumped up to limited participation Wednesday. He should serve as the Giants' starting left tackle once again Thursday.

Thomas (illness) is expected to play Thursday against the Cowboys, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas was a limited participant on Wednesday's practice report after logging a DNP on Tuesday. The presence of the third-year-pro at left tackle should be a boost to the Giants' offensive line in the team's Thanksgiving matchup with Dallas.

Thomas (ankle) performed well during the Giants' one-on-one pass-blocking drills Wednesday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas was a limited participant during the Giants' OTAs while recovering from ankle surgery undergone in January, but this issue didn't seem to bother him as he went up against outside linebackers Kayvon Thibodeaux and Oshane Ximines during Wednesday's fully padded practice. The third-year left tackle's availability will be a top priority for New York as he serves the crucial role of blocking on quarterback Daniel Jones' blindside this coming season.

Thomas (ankle) has been limited during OTAs, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas has been recovering from surgery that he underwent on his left ankle in late January, and he's been brought along slowly early in offseason activities. The 23-year-old was in a non-contact jersey and limping heavily when he tried to run Thursday. Joshua Ezeudu has been working with the first-team offense while Thomas continues to recover from his offseason procedure.

Thomas (ankle) is working with the starters during Wednesday's voluntary workout, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas underwent surgery on his left ankle in late January, so it's a positive sign to see him participating in workouts just a few months later. However, while he's back on the field already, the Giants will likely be extremely cautious with their 2020 first-round pick, who's already had surgery on his left ankle twice during his NFL career.

Thomas underwent surgery on his left ankle in late January, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas dealt with an ankle injury during the first half of the 2021 campaign but played through the issue to close out the season. He underwent surgery on the same ankle following the 2020 season, but the Giants are hopeful that the young left tackle will be back to full strength in time for the start of the offseason program.

Thomas (ankle/foot) was activated from injured reserve ahead of Monday's game at Tampa Bay, Michael Elsen of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Elsen was designated to return last week and will rejoin the active roster after less than a week of practice. The 2020 first-round pick should reclaim his starting role at left tackle now that he's healthy.

The Giants designated Thomas (ankle/foot) for return from injured reserve Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though Thomas will resume practicing with the Giants on Wednesday following the team's bye week, the left tackle likely faces an uphill battle to gain clearance ahead of Monday's road matchup with the Buccaneers. Instead, the Giants will seemingly view this week as a means for Thomas to gradually increase his activities as he recovers from a right ankle sprain and left foot injury, with the team's Week 12 game Nov. 28 versus the Eagles likely representing the target for his return to the lineup.

Thomas (foot/ankle) was placed on injured reserve on Tuesday, Michael Eisen of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas is plagued by a both a right foot and left ankle injury and will now be required to miss a minimum of three games. Matt Peart is expected to take over at left tackle in Thomas' absence.
