New York Giants’ left tackle Andrew Thomas underwent surgery Wednesday morning and will miss the remainder of the season.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that Thomas had surgery in Charlotte, NC, performed by noted foot specialist Dr. Robert Anderson, to repair a Lisfranc injury in his foot: “#Giants star LT Andrew Thomas, one of the NFL’s best, had successful surgery this morning to repair a Liafranc injury in his foot, sources say. He is expected to be out for the season”

It has been feared Thomas, 25, had sustained a significant foot injury during Sunday night’s 17-7 loss to the Bengals, and that a Lisfranc injury was suspected. Thomas was seen limping, and said after the game that even after going through X-rays, he still wasn’t sure what the issue was: “Something’s sore, I don’t know exactly what it is.”

Thomas missed seven games early last season with a strained hamstring, and now is expected to miss the final 11 games this season.  On Sunday, the left tackle played all 79 offensive snaps for the Giants against the Bengals, and he has played every single offensive snap this season.  Thomas is considered the Giants best and most accomplished offensive lineman, and is under contract through the 2029 season after signing a five-year extension worth $117.5 million.
