New York Giants LT Andrew Thomas says his Lisfranc injury is a tough one to come back from and wouldn't guarantee a Week 1 return.

The New York Giants activated offensive lineman Andrew Thomas off of the physically unable to perform (PUP) list Tuesday, allowing their franchise left tackle to return to practice for the first time in almost a year. Thomas has been sidelined since Oct. 15, when he underwent surgery to repair a Lisfranc injury in his foot.

Starting left tackle Andrew Thomas is being activated from the physically unable to perform list and star receiver Malik Nabers is returning to practice. Thomas had not yet practiced since suffering a Lisfranc injury last year that ended his season after just six games, and his return is a massive lift for the offensive line.
