Star left tackle Andrew Thomas could be headed toward missing a fourth straight game for the New York Giants. Thomas, dealing with a hamstring injury, did not practice Wednesday as the Giants began preparing to face the Miami Dolphins.
Thomas’ absence was only part of the bad news for the beleaguered Giants’ offensive line.
Starting center John Michael Schmitz (shoulder) and backup guard Shane Lemieux (groin), who might otherwise be in line to start if Schmitz can’t play, also did not practice.
Head coach Brian Daboll said newly-signed veteran guard Justin Pugh, who is coming off a torn ACL and was signed to the practice squad, would work with trainers on Wednesday to assess his physical condition.
