Andrew Thomas continues to do more each day, but the decision whether the Pro Bowl left tackle will make his season debut Sunday night against the Chiefs will go right up until game time, according to head coach Brian Daboll.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Giants didn\u2019t practice in full pads Thursday, but Daboll said that the plan was for Thomas to take \u201ca lot of reps\u201d despite being officially listed as a limited participant for the second consecutive day.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Daboll categorized the increased workload as \u201ca good sign\u201d after the oft-injured tackle missed the first two games of the regular season while still recuperating from the left foot surgery he underwent last October<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s played a lot of football,\u201d Daboll replied when asked if Thomas could play without a full practice in pads. \u201cI\u2019d say he took a lot of reps [Wednesday] and he\u2019ll take a number of them today. It\u2019s just a positive sign.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI think this thing will go all the way up [to game time]. After [Friday], we\u2019ll see how he feels. He has to feel the right way, but it\u2019s a good sign with the next step of the progression. But he felt good after doing a number of reps [Wednesday].\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Veteran fill-in tackle James Hudson III was flagged for four penalties on the Giants\u2019 opening drive in Sunday\u2019s loss to the Cowboys, and he was replaced by rookie Marcus Mbow.\u00a0<\/p>\n

RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. had only five carries for 15 yards against Dallas, but he also contributed five kickoff five returns for 132 yards.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s a guy that obviously did it in college, and a little bit last year. \u2026 It\u2019s one opportunity to give a guy an extra touch,\u201d special teams coordinator Michael Ghobrial said. \u201cHe obviously has a skill set that\u2019s very valuable to this team as a running back.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has good top-end speed, he has good vision, so whenever you give a guy a touch like that and he\u2019s able to have a day the way he did, it makes us very confident in him to have the ability to be used back there as a returner.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

LBs Chauncey Golston (ankle) and Darius Muasau (concussion protocol) did not practice, but Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles (calf) returned on a limited basis, according to the Giants\u2019 official injury report.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

WR\/KR Gunner Olszewski (back), WR Wan\u2019Dale Robinson (foot), DL Rakeem Nunez-Roches (foot), OL Jon Runyan Jr. (back), C John Michael Schmitz (toe), WR Darius Slayton (groin\/calf) and Tracy (calf) also were limited participants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Andrew Thomas continues to do more each day, but the decision whether the Pro Bowl left tackle will…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":238236,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5122],"tags":[5229,58348,405,403,4716,5226,5225,1232,5228,5227,62,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-238235","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-andrew-thomas","10":"tag-new-york","11":"tag-new-york-city","12":"tag-new-york-giants","13":"tag-newyork","14":"tag-newyorkcity","15":"tag-nfl","16":"tag-ny","17":"tag-nyc","18":"tag-sports","19":"tag-united-states","20":"tag-united-states-of-america","21":"tag-unitedstates","22":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","23":"tag-us","24":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115229464290888760","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/238235","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=238235"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/238235\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/238236"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=238235"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=238235"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=238235"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
