Giants Activate Andrew Thomas, Malik Nabers Returns From Injury

The New York Giants have received a significant boost as starting left tackle Andrew Thomas has been activated from the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list, marking a major step forward for their offensive line ahead of the 2025 NFL season. Thomas had missed the previous season due to a Lisfranc foot injury but is now cleared to practice, offering the Giants a much-needed stable blindside protector to improve quarterback Russell Wilson's pocket time. Alongside Thomas, star wide receiver Malik Nabers and rookie running back Cam Skattebo have also returned to practice after dealing with various injuries during the preseason, adding vital depth and playmaking ability to the offense. The Giants' offensive line struggled in the past, but Thomas's return is seen as plugging a critical gap, elevating the entire unit's effectiveness. With these players healthy and available, the team is optimistic about their offensive potential and defensive improvements, including rookie pass rusher Abdul Carter, as they prepare for their Week 1 game against the Washington Commanders. Head coach Brian Daboll emphasized a cautious approach to Thomas's return, but the overall health improvements bode well for the Giants' aspirations to advance in the 2025 season.
