Andrew Thomas passes physical, returns to practice

ANDREW-THOMAS-PRIMEPOINT

Andrew Thomas has passed his physical and will return to practice.

The standout left tackle underwent surgery last season after suffering a foot injury against Cincinnati on Oct. 13. He has been rehabbing since then and was placed on the physically unable to perform list at the start of training camp.

The Giants said all offseason that they would be smart with Thomas, taking it day by day through the spring and summer.

"Each day he gets a little bit better," coach Brian Daboll said Sunday, the day after the Giants' preseason victory over the Jets. "So, we'll make that decision when we think it's best for us and him."

That time is now.

The Giants wrap up the preseason Thursday night with a home game against the New England Patriots. Then there will be just 17 days until the regular season begins at Washington on Sept. 7.

Running back Eric Gray remains the only Giant currently on the PUP list. The former fifth-round draft choice is dealing with a knee injury as he enters his third season after playing all 17 games for the Giants in 2024. He split his snaps almost evenly between offense and special teams, where he returned kickoffs.

Outside linebacker Victor Dimukeje, meanwhile, is on the non-football injury list. Dimukeje, who played his first four seasons with the Cardinals before signing with the Giants in free agency, suffered a pectoral injury.

NFL clubs must reduce their rosters to a maximum of 53 players by 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday, Aug. 26.

A player can only be placed on the active/PUP list before the start of training camp. The player counts against the 90-man roster limit and can come off the PUP list at any point during camp and practice immediately. He can participate in team meetings and use the team facilities during the preseason while on active/PUP. He can also work out on the side during practices but cannot participate in any portion of practice (walkthroughs, individual drills, seven-on-sevens, team drills, etc.). Players cannot return to the PUP list if they sustain a setback or another injury during training camp.

Players on the active/PUP list can be moved to the reserve/PUP list during the roster cutdown. If placed on the reserve/PUP list, a player does not count against the active roster and must sit out the first four games.

NFI procedures mirror those of PUP but are used for players who suffer an injury outside of NFL activities.
