New York Giants left tackle Andrew Thomas will miss the rest of the season after having surgery on his right foot to repair a Lisfranc injury, coach Brian Daboll confirmed Wednesday.
Thomas, who signed a five-year, $117.5 million contract in 2023, was hurt late in a 17-7 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals last weekend.
A Lisfranc injury occurs in the middle of the foot when at least one of the small bones is broken or sprained or the ligaments that support the foot in that area is torn. "You can’t replace an Andrew Thomas," Daboll said. "I feel terrible for him.
I was able to text with him today. He had his surgery this morning, everything was successful. He’s a leader, he’s a captain, he’s great in the locker room, he’s a very good football player." The Giants (2-4) began practicing on Wednesday for their home game against the Philadelphia Eagles (3-2) with Jermaine Eluemunor staying at right tackle and Joshua Ezeudu on the left side for Thomas.
