Giants star left tackle out for the season after Lisfranc surgery

The Giants will welcome Saquon Barkley back to Metlife Stadium for his first game against his former team, and they’ll be without their star left tackle, Andrew Thomas.

Ian Rapoport reports that Thomas will miss the remainder of this season after having surgery on a Lisfranc injury.

Thomas met with noted foot specialist Dr. Robert Anderson on Tuesday when the surgery was recommended.

Thomas is one of the NFL’s best left tackles. He now leaves a void along the Giants’ offensive line that will likely weaken in two areas. Early expectations are that Jermaine Eluemunor will shift to the left side, paving the way for the return of embattled right tackle Evan Neal.

If the Giants opt to pass on a Neal return, Joshua Ezeudu could take over as the start at left tackle.
