Giants Dodge a Bullet as Andrew Thomas Avoids Serious Injury

Giants fans can officially step back from the ledge because Andrew Thomas is somehow not broken.

Adam Schefter reported Wednesday that the groin and adductor injury Thomas suffered during Monday night's disaster against the Rams is not considered serious. In a minor medical miracle, the star left tackle actually has a chance to suit up this Sunday against the Titans.

"Adam Schefter reported the injury is not considered serious and Thomas has a chance to return Sunday."

When a massive offensive lineman grabs his groin on national television during a 28-6 blowout loss, you usually start doing the math on injured reserve timelines. Instead, the Giants might actually get their franchise blindside protector back on a short week.

This is a massive swing for anyone looking at the weekend lines or trying to figure out if New York can score a touchdown. The Giants offense looked completely lifeless in Los Angeles, managing just six miserable points. Trying to fix those blocking issues without your best offensive lineman is like trying to patch a sinking boat with wet paper towels.

The Titans are coming off a tight 24-20 loss to the Eagles and will be hunting for a bounce-back spot. Having Thomas on the field changes the entire equation for New York's pass protection against a heavy Tennessee defensive front.

We will have to watch the practice reports this week to see if Thomas is actually moving well or just trying to tough it out. If he goes, the Giants have a fighting chance to salvage their week, but if he sits, Sunday could be another long afternoon of quarterback survival drills.
