Giants Star Tackle Limited At Practice On Wednesday


The New York Giants are one of the NFL's biggest surprise teams in 2022, and despite lacking elite level talent in every position group, they've been very fun to watch en route to a 5-1 record. One position they do have elite level talent at however is offensive tackle, as Andrew Thomas has been one of, if not the league's best tackle through six weeks in 2022, which is why it could be concerning to Giants fans that he was very limited during Wednesday's practice. 

While PFF isn't a perfect science or way to grade players in the league, it's a useful tool, and so far in 2022, Thomas has racked up a grade of 90, which is astronomical along the offensive line, and with just 1 penalty given up so far, it's clear that he's become the leader and the best player for this Giants team. It's no coincidence that with this improved line, Saquon Barkley is looking like the player we knew before his injury, and if the Giants were to miss Thomas in Week 6, it would be a devastating blow.

It's just Wednesday, and with the Giants not playing the Jacksonville Jaguars until Sunday, there's a very good chance that he will be good to go, but it's something for Giants fans to keep an eye on as the week rolls on and the team looks to move to 6-1 on the year.
