Coming into Week 6, New York Giants left tackle Andrew Thomas was looking forward to accepting the challenge of stopping Chase Young. He had to wait for his opportunity to face off against the No. 2 pick.
ESPN’s Jordan Raanan reported shortly before kickoff that the Giants were benching Thomas in favor of fellow rookie Matt Peart. Raanan’s reporting was confirmed when the Giants took the field for the first time.
However, he started the second quarter for the Giants, and Raanan is reporting that the benching was not performance-related.
