Giants-Cowboys injury news: Andrew Thomas, Leonard Williams, Jabrill Peppers miss practice

Left tackle Andrew Thomas (foot), defensive end Leonard Williams (knee) and safety Jabrill Peppers (hamstring) were among six New York Giants who did not practice on Wednesday.

The others were wide receiver Sterling Shepard (hamstring), wide receiver Darius Slayton (hamstring) and tight end Kaden Smith (knee).

Peppers injured his hamstring against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. Slayton and Shepard were both out of that game with their injuries. Thomas and Williams, though, are new additions to the Giants’ injury list.

Thomas, the starting left tackle, has yet to allow a sack this season. The extent of his injury is unknown. If Thomas were unavailable, Matt Peart would likely slide into the lineup Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys.

Williams has one sack and is the most accomplished pass rusher on a team that is just 31st in the league in pass rush win rate, per ESPN.
