Couple thoughts…
#1. That sucks for him and their fans
#2. What the heck was he doing?

Think you’re off base on this. Did you see the hit that caused the MCL sprain? His body broke down because someone bent his knee in a direction it’s not designed to bend. High ankle sprain is a misnomer. It’s more than a sprain.
I’m just pointing on warning signs. He missed all of the spring with a hip injury as well. He’s had 4 different injuries in college and his first preseason combined without ever playing a regular season game. I wish the guy well, but if I’m a Giants fan, that is concerning to me. Just like how I’m concerned about Levi.

Being injury prone is more than just getting injured on the same hits everyone else takes. Being injury prone can also include a player who doesn’t protect himself properly or puts himself into compromising positions. I think with the extended look at it, you are absolutely correct that the Giants should be concerned about Thibs.

I don’t know how you can watch the mcl injury play and find fault with Thibs. But to each their own.

His reactions or lack of reactions exposed him to injury in a situation that was right in front of him and that he could have easily avoided. That was his fault.

He looks like he was between moves. Like he was going to do something, thought about something else and did something entirely different.

That type of block happens regularly in the NFL. Its up to the defender to protect himself. If he can’t do that he will get more of it.

It looked to me like he was bracing for a shoulder to shoulder hit…then the blocker went low and he wasn’t ready for it.
