Giants' Andrew Thomas ruled out Sunday vs. Raiders with hamstring injury

If the Giantsmercifully snap a league-worst nine-game losing streak on the road Sunday against the Raiders, they'll do so without their most important offensive lineman.

Andrew Thomas has been ruled out for the Giants' upcoming trip to Las Vegas, dealing with a hamstring injury suffered in last Sunday's home loss to the Vikings. He won't travel with the team.

While the postgame evaluation of Thomas' injury didn't reveal anything serious, he was unable to participate in practice this week.

Thomas' leg tightened up on a run play against the Vikings inside the red zone, early in the second quarter. After spending a few moments down on the turf and walking gingerly off the field with trainers, Marcus Mbow took over in Thomas' place. He was eventually ruled out during the third quarter.

Before practice Friday, Giants head coach Mike Kafka said Mbow would once again fill in at left tackle if they felt Thomas wasn't healthy enough to play.

There was no incentive for the Giants to rush Thomas back into action. The six-year veteran spent the past offseason working back from a foot injury that required season-ending surgery in October 2024.

Thomas is among several Giants players who won't suit up against the Raiders. The team ruled out four additional players on Friday: safety Tyler Nubin (neck), offensive lineman Evan Neal (neck), defensive lineman D.J. Davidson (neck/concussion), and receiver Beaux Collins (neck/concussion).

As if the injury list wasn't long enough, the Giants downgraded tight end Theo Johnson (illness) and center John Michael Schmitz (finger) to out on Saturday.

Joshua Ezeudu (calf) is still listed as questionable.

Sunday's meeting between the Giants and Raiders can already be labeled one of the worst in NFL history. According to the Elias Sports Bureau (h/t Jordan Raanan), it's the first-ever matchup between teams both entering with single-season losing skids of nine-plus games.
