A TEAM ON EDGE

The Giants’ matchup against the Chiefs was always going to be a tall order. Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City’s relentless pass rush are notorious for exposing weaknesses, and the Giants’ offensive front has been shaky even with Thomas in the lineup. The news that their star lineman may not be cleared to play has ignited waves of concern among fans and analysts alike.

Thomas, regarded as the anchor of the Giants’ line, has been dealing with lingering health issues that resurfaced this week. While the team has not disclosed the full extent, insiders suggest his availability is “highly questionable.” For a Giants team that depends heavily on his protection, the timing could not be worse.
