Giants’ Matthew Peart will assume starting LT duties in Andrew Thomas’ absence

The Giants have a new starting left tackle…for the time being at least.

According to USA Today’s Art Stapleton, Giants offensive line coach Rob Sale notes second-year man Matthew Peart will assume the blindside duties while veteran Nate Solder plays on the right side. This comes amid the absence of primary starting left tackle Andrew Thomas, who landed on injured reserve this week with ankle and foot injuries.

Peart subbed in at left tackle when Thomas exited the Week 6 loss to the Rams.

Giants offensive line coach Rob Sale said that the alignment moving forward while Andrew Thomas is on IR will be Matt Peart at left tackle and Nate Solder at right tackle.
