New York Giants fans didn’t exactly walk into good news when the team announced Andrew Thomas would begin training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list. Considering Thomas is the only thing standing between a capable Giants offense and Swiss cheese, seeing his name anywhere near an injury report tends to spike the blood pressure juuust a bit.
And yet, this one shouldn't ring the alarm bells that it would normally, were it not for context. For one, this isn’t a surprise. The team has said for months they were going to be “smart” with Thomas after his season-ending Lisfranc injury suffered last October.
