The New York Giants have ruled out former Georgia Bulldogs Andrew Thomas and outside linebacker Azeez Ojulari for Thursday’s matchup versus the San Francisco 49ers, per NFL insider Ian Rapoport.
Thomas, who signed a record five-year $117.5 million deal this offseason, missed last week’s matchup with the Arizona Cardinals after injuring his hamstring in Week 1 against the Dallas Cowboys.
Ojulari is also dealing with a hamstring injury, stemming from the Giants’ 40-0 loss against Dallas, that kept him out against the Cardinals.
Ojulari missed 10 games last season due to various injuries, including a calf strain that landed him on the injured reserve.
Both Thomas and Ojulari are important pieces for a New York team that is coming off of an impressive 31-28 comeback win over Arizona.
The #Giants have ruled out vs the #49ers: RB Saquon Barkley (ankle), OL Ben Bredeson (concussion), LB Azeez Ojulari (hamstring), and LT Andrew Thomas (hamstring).
