Thomas (hamstring) was told by trainers that he's day-to-day heading into Week 5 against the Dolphins, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Thomas noted that his hamstring simply hasn't responded as well as he'd hoped, leading to his absence Monday night. However, there seems to be optimism he could suit up for Week 5 in Miami if his practice week goes well. Thomas' availability would be a welcome sight after Seattle racked up 11 sacks against the Giants in Monday night's 24-3 loss.

Rotowire
Thomas (hamstring) did not participate at practice Friday, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
It's a very discouraging sign for Thomas' chances of suiting up Monday versus Seattle. He still hasn't been ruled out for Week 4 officially, but it sure seems likely that it will be 2022 third-rounder Joshua Ezeudu, not Thomas, who starts at left tackle for the Giants versus the Seahawks.

Thomas (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Thursday ahead of Sunday's game at Arizona, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Giants' Andrew Thomas: Sunday's status TBD
Rotowire
Thomas' (hamstring) status for Sunday's game against Arizona is up in the air, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
It seems like New York's All-Pro tackle avoided a worse-case scenario, as he is thought to have avoided a serious injury. Even if he plays Sunday, it's safe to assume he won't be playing at full strength, per Duggan. The Giants play San Francisco's deadly pass rush next Thursday, which could factor into New York's decision of whether to play its star this coming Sunday.

Giants' Andrew Thomas: Inks massive extension
Rotowire
Thomas agreed to a five-year, $117.5 million deal with the Giants on Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
The 2020 first-round pick's new extension includes $67 million guaranteed and will kick in after the 2023 NFL season. After struggling during his first couple years in the league, the Georgia product turned things around and was one of the best offensive linemen in football in 2022, earning second-team All-Pro honors. Thomas' yearly salary comes out to $23.5 million, making him the second-highest paid offensive lineman in the NFL. The 24-year-old will likely continue holding down the left side of the Giants' offensive line for many years to come.

Giants' Andrew Thomas: On books through 2024
Rotowire
The Giants announced Tuesday that Thomas' fifth-year team option for 2024 will be exercised.
The No. 4 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft endured a somewhat rocky start to his professional career, but he's steadily improved since the latter portion of his rookie season and has emerged as a franchise cornerstone at left tackle. The 24-year-old was a second-team All-Pro selection in 2023 while starting in 16 of the Giants' 17 regular-season contests. He'll continue to protect Daniel Jones' blindside through at least the 2024 season, though expect Thomas and the Giants to work out a long-term extension before his rookie deal expires.
