There are days we back off of him,\u201d coach Brian Daboll said. \u201cThese two days here were important in terms of team reps, of going out there and doing the things he has to do to play at his position. I know he feels pretty good after [Thursday]. Again, that\u2019s why we\u2019ll see where he\u2019s at today. Of course, you\u2019d like him out here the whole time, but that\u2019s part of his process relative to trying to get him back out of the field.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thomas missed the entire preseason recovering from surgery to repair a Lisfranc fracture suffered against the Bengals last October, just six games into the 2024 season.

Charles Wenzelberg \/ New York Post<\/p>\n<p>The Giants sorely missed Thomas in Week 1 against the Commanders. The offense managed just two field goals, an anemic 3.2 yards per rush and quarterback Russell Wilson was sacked twice and hit eight times. His replacement, James Hudson III, struggled along with the rest of the offensive line.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLike anything, it was pretty obvious there are things to improve on,\u201d offensive line coach Carmen Bricillo said. \u201cWe\u2019ll get out there and we\u2019ll do it. It\u2019s a good opportunity against a really good front versus Dallas. There\u2019s no crying over spilled milk.
