Thibodeaux and fellow edge rusher Brian Burns will be heavily depended upon to pressure the quarterback this season under new defensive coordinator Shane Bowen, Matt Citak of the team's official site reports. Under since-ousted defensive coordinator Wink Martindale last year, the Giants blitzed 46.2 percent of the time, the second-highest rate in the league. Meanwhile, Bowen's Tennessee Titan defense blitzed on just 20.4 percent of defensive plays -- 24th in the NFL. Bowen's approach is likely to carry over to his work with New York, which means that Thibodeaux and Burns' importance as pass rushers will be magnified. That could lead Thibodeaux to ascend to new heights after breaking out with 11.5 sacks in his second NFL campaign last year.

Not practicing yet

Thibodeaux suffered the concussion during Sunday's game against the Cowboys. Although it will be an uphill battle to do so, he still has a chance to suit up in Week 11 against the Commanders, but he'll likely need to log a full practice with no setbacks before then to gain clearance to play.
Ruled out Sunday

Thibodeaux was unable to pass the league's concussion protocols and will not return to Sunday's game. Boogie Basham and Micah McFadden are candidates for increased snap counts for the rest of the contest.
