EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Starting left tackle Andrew Thomas will open New York Giants training camp on the physically unable to perform list as he works back from surgery in October to repair a Lisfranc injury in his right foot.
Thomas, 26, was not on the field during offseason workouts. Going on the PUP list, along with running back Eric Gray, means Thomas is not ready to practice but can be activated at any time before cutdown day in late August to be eligible to play this season.
Malik Nabers, who also did not practice during the spring because of a toe ailment that coach Brian Daboll said dates to the receiver’s college days at LSU, was not given any sort of injury designation Tuesday. The first camp session is Wednesday.
The Giants earlier added some secondary depth by signing safety K’Von Wallace, who attended minicamp in June on a tryout basis. Linebacker Victor Dimukeje was put on the declared non-football injury list, while safety Anthony Johnson Jr. was waived with an injury designation to make room for Wallace on the camp roster.
Wallace, who turns 28 Friday, missed the second half of last season after injuring his right ankle Nov. 3 in Seattle’s overtime loss to the Los Angeles Rams. He made 15 tackles and forced a fumble during his nine games with the Seahawks before landing on injured reserve.
Wallace is expected to compete for a reserve spot behind starters Jevon Holland and Tyler Nubin and could contribute on special teams.
A fourth-round pick by Philadelphia in 2020 out of Clemson, Wallace spent his first three NFL seasons with the Eagles and has also played for Arizona and Tennessee. He has appeared in 75 regular-season and playoff games, starting 19 of them.
