Thibodeaux finished the 2023 campaign with 50 tackles (26 solo), including 11.5 sacks, and added four pass defenses along with three forced fumbles over 17 games.

EDGE Analysis

The Giants selected Thibodeaux fifth overall in the 2022 Draft with the hope that he'd develop into an elite pass rusher. Though he showed promising flashes in his rookie campaign, the Oregon product tallied just 4.0 sacks, but he boosted that number to a much more fantasy-friendly 11.5 sacks -- tied for 12th most in the league -- in Year 2. Thibodeaux still has plenty of room to grow, as the sacks dried up over the final four games of the season, and his overall missed-tackle rate increased in comparison to the previous campaign. Still, with two years remaining on his rookie contract, there's little doubt that Thibodeaux is a key piece of the Giants' future plans.

Thibodeaux recorded eight tackles, including a half-sack, and forced a fumble against Green Bay in Monday's 24-22 victory.

EDGE Analysis

Thibodeaux posted his second-highest tackle total of the campaign in another strong performance. His biggest play came in the second quarter when he stalled a Green Bay drive that had reached New York territory by ripping the ball away from Jordan Love, causing a fumble that the Giants recovered. Thibodeaux was also part of a split sack of Love in the third period, giving him at least half a sack in three straight contests and pushing his total on the season to 11.5.

Thibodeaux totaled five tackles (three solo), including two sacks, in Sunday's 31-19 Week 11 win versus Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Thibodeaux accounted for half of New York's four sacks in the contest, and his five total tackles were his second-highest mark of the campaign. The second-year edge rusher had slowed down a bit with just one combined tackle and no sacks over the past two weeks but thrived against a Commanders offensive line that has struggled throughout the campaign. Thibodeaux is up to 10.5 sacks on the season, tied for fifth-most in the NFL.

Thibodeaux has cleared concussion protocol and will play in Sunday's game against the Commanders, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thibodeaux left the Giants' Week 10 loss to the Cowboys with a concussion, but he was able to record a full practice session Friday, and it now seems as if he's been able to move past the issue. The 2022 first-round pick has had a great start to his second NFL season, recording 26 total tackles, including 8.5 sacks and eight tackles for loss.

Thibodeaux (concussion) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thibodeaux was not able to practice at all Wednesday, so that he was able to practice in any capacity Thursday marks a step in the right direction. With that being said, there may still be outstanding steps for him to clear league concussion protocol, and if he can't do so by Friday, he'll carry an injury designation into the weekend.

Thibodeaux (concussion) did not practice Wednesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thibodeaux suffered the concussion during Sunday's game against the Cowboys. Although it will be an uphill battle to do so, he still has a chance to suit up in Week 11 against the Commanders, but he'll likely need to log a full practice with no setbacks before then to gain clearance to play.

Thibodeaux (concussion) will not return to Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thibodeaux was unable to pass the league's concussion protocols and will not return to Sunday's game. Boogie Basham and Micah McFadden are candidates for increased snap counts for the rest of the contest.

Thibodeaux (back) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 22-year-old was limited at Thursday's practice due to a back issue, but it won't affect his availability for Week 9. Thibodeaux is coming off a three-sack effort against the Jets and has 8.5 sacks on the season.

Thibodeaux (back) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thibodeaux is coming off a monster three-sack showing Sunday versus the Jets, and it's not clear when he sustained a back injury. The Giants' official injury report Thursday will give a better idea of how serious the issue might be.

Thibodeaux recorded nine tackles (six solo), including three sacks, and forced a fumble in Sunday's Week 8 overtime loss to the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

In an ugly offensive game for the Giants, Thibodeaux led a tenacious defensive effort that almost allowed the G-Men to come away with a win. The second-year edge rusher took down opposing QB Zach Wilson behind the line of scrimmage on three occasions, netting a total loss of 41 yards. The three sacks were a career-best mark for Thibodeaux, and he finished with a season-high nine total stops. Thibodeaux is coming into his own as a pass rusher, tallying 8.5 sacks over his past six contests. He's tied for third in the NFL in that category overall on the campaign.
