Thomas (groin) was waived with an injury settlement, per theNFL media site's transaction log.

Thomas is out for the remainder of Monday's game with a groin injury, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Giants came into the contest thinner than usual at linebacker so the team will have to reach deep into the roster to find a replacement. From the looks of it, Curtis Grant, who was promoted to the active roster just prior to the game, could be the guy to fill in.

Thomas (knee) was placed on the PUP list Friday, Michael Elsen of Giants.com reports. "We are playing it smart with him," coach Ben McAdoo said. "We'll see how it goes. He is making progress. He is not where we want him to be yet. Hopefully, it is not anything that takes too long."
EDGE Analysis
Thomas was expected to be cleared for training camp, but it sounds like the Giants are going to play it safe with him and give Thomas some more time off to strengthen his knee. He'll likely be eased back into the action once cleared to practice, but he's currently not expected to be in danger of missing any regular season action. Thomas is coming off a torn ACL he suffered in Week 1 of last season.

Thomas (knee) indicated he'll be ready for the start of training camp, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas was placed on injured reserve after tearing his ACL in the first week of last season, but he's recently been able to take part in some running and cutting drills, so it appears he's progressing well. He's currently on pace to be ready for training camp and once at full strength, he should operate as depth at outside linebacker and as a key special teams player.

Thomas (hamstring) was activated from the team's PUP list on Tuesday, Seth Walder of New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
While the injury was originally considered nothing serious, it ended up costing Thomas almost a month of action. On Tuesday, Thomas was activated from the PUP list and he'll likely be eased into practice in the coming few days. It's unclear if Thomas will take part in either of the team's final two preseason games, but he's fully expected to ready for the regular season opener. Look for Thomas to take on depth role in his second year with the Giants.
