Injuries to Thibodeaux, Thomas spark debate over whether NFL should ban cut block

ASHBURN — Logan Thomas knows what it’s like to be on the receiving end of the kind of hit that Giants rookie Kayvon Thibodeaux took in Sunday’s preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals. The suddenness of your legs being taken out under you. The jolt of pain that rushes to your knee.

Watch the hits side by side and they’re almost identical — except the positions were reversed. In December, the Commanders tight end was taken out on a cut block by Raiders edge rusher Yannick Ngakoue. On Sunday, it was Bengals tight end Thaddeus Moss who took out the New York defensive end.
