Left tackle Andrew Thomas (groin) and edge rusher Abdul Carter (calf) are both expected to play, per Ian Rapoport. Thomas' availability is critical for a Giants offensive line that has protected quarterback Jameis Winston well this season, while Carter's presence maintains the pass-rush punch of a front that has been disruptive.
The Giants host the 1-4 Saints at MetLife Stadium, where New York is seeking its first five-game home win streak since 2016. Getting both players on the field boosts New York on both sides of the line of scrimmage as it faces a New Orleans team coming off a rough start to the season.
