Terrell Thomas says he will make a third comeback from an ACL injury.

The New York Giants cornerback announced the plans on his website. Thomas suffered an injury to his right ACL in training camp and later underwent a third surgery on the knee in September. Thomas also tore his right ACL in the 2011 preseason and while playing for USC.

"I know I have been MIA for a long time," Thomas wrote on his blog. "I just wanted to thank everyone for their continuing support. I am returning to football in 2013 hopefully with the Giants, but my contract is up this year but most likely, hopefully I will be re-signing with them."

Thomas said his "contract is up this year" because the Giants probably will not exercise a $6 million option that is due in March as part of a low-risk, four-year deal the cornerback signed in free agency last year that could be worth up to $28 million.

Thomas hopes he can work out a new deal to remain with the Giants, who drafted him in the second round in 2008 out of USC.

General manager Jerry Reese said shortly after the season ended that he hadn't spoken to Thomas about his plans to make another comeback and suggested that the cornerback might be better off moving to safety if he does attempt to play again.
