The New York Giants will try for their second win of the season in Week 4 against the Seattle Seahawks.
It will be their second home game this year following the 40-0 beatdown they received from the Dallas Cowboys in Week 1.
Unfortunately, they will play without a vital offensive line member.
“Andrew Thomas is OUT for Monday, per Daboll #NYGiants,” The Record Sports’ writer for the Giants Art Stapleton tweeted.

The Giants’ injury report listed him as out due to a hamstring injury.
After becoming a limited participant last Thursday, he did not participate during the team’s Friday and Saturday practices.
According to ESPN’s Jordan Raanan, an MRI showed that Thomas’ hamstring injury isn’t long-term.
Andrew Thomas update: The left tackle’s hamstring is sore and it’s not believed to be a long-term injury after he underwent an MRI on Monday. So a sigh of relief for the Giants.
It’s still possible that Thomas misses some time. It will depend on how he comes through this week.…

But his value to this offensive line prompted the Giants to be cautious with his condition.
Thomas being out of action will be a big blow to the Giants’ protection scheme for quarterback Daniel Jones.
The Giants selected the former University of Georgia standout fourth overall in the 2020 NFL Draft.
Before he joined the league, he was a two-time First Team All-SEC member and the 2019 Jacobs Blocking Trophy winner.
He became a Second Team All-Pro member in his third NFL season.
This offseason, the Giants signed him to a five-year, $117.5 million contract extension with a league-record $67 million guaranteed for offensive linemen.
In Thomas’ absence, Joshua Ezeudu is expected to fill in at left tackle.
