The New York Giants activated offensive lineman Andrew Thomas off of the physically unable to perform (PUP) list Tuesday, allowing their franchise left tackle to return to practice for the first time in almost a year. Thomas has been sidelined since Oct. 15, when he underwent surgery to repair a Lisfranc injury in his foot.

Thomas has been held out of practice throughout the offseason and preseason program as he returned from the Lisfranc injury that ended his 2024 season. Questions had been mounting as to whether he would be ready to start he season, though the Giants maintained confidence that he would be healthy in time for Week 1.
