NYG Andrew Thomas
NFL player. Position: OT. Team: NYG.
Quick Facts
- Position: OT (Offensive Tackle)
- Team: NYG (New York Giants)
- Status: All-Pro, recurring leg/foot injury history
2026 Outlook
All-Pro caliber tackle who has repeatedly been sidelined by leg and foot injuries throughout his Giants tenure, costing both him and the team. New coaching staff (Harbaugh) and medical staff taking conservative approach heading into 2026, managing on-field time and reps with planned maintenance rest periods to protect his durability. If he stays healthy, he remains an elite left tackle, but injury history creates ongoing uncertainty about his availability.
The 2025 season was potentially Thomas's best: he allowed only one sack and 13 pressures on 448 pass-blocking snaps. If he can sustain this level while staying healthy through a full season—an achievement still rare in his Giants tenure—he'll anchor New York's protection scheme for Jayden Daniels' continued development (per Projecting and ranking every NFL offensive line for 2026 (NFC)).
Role / Depth Chart
Starting left tackle for the Giants. All-Pro caliber when healthy.
Injury Status
Recurring history of leg and foot injuries. Had shoulder injury from 2025 and surgically repaired foot managed during spring. Entering 2026 "relatively healthy"—shoulder and foot issues both managed with no expectation of problems for training camp. As the "cornerstone" of the Giants' offensive line, his health is the "barometer of how well the unit will perform." When healthy, the line is top-tier; when sidelined, historically one of the worst. New Giants coaching and medical staff implementing conservative maintenance approach to keep him healthy throughout 2026 season rather than pushing through lingering issues (per The Giants Have Legit O-Line Depth for the First Time in Years) and (per 5 New York Giants injuries that could define their summer).
