News

  • Inks to Ravens' practice squad

    Baltimore signed Thomas to the practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Thomas suited up for five games with the Texans this season before being released by the team. He will now get a chance to compete for a role in Baltimore, where it wouldn't be surprising to see him bump to the 53-man roster in the future.

  • Let go by Texans

    Thomas was cut by the Texans on Saturday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Thomas was active for each the team's first five games and held a role on both the defensive and special teams units. He tallied a total of 12 tackles, though his playing time did slip in recent weeks.

  • Signs with Texans

    Thomas signed a one-year, $2 million contract with the Texans on Monday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Thomas spent the last three seasons in Dallas, though 2020 was his busiest year with the team in terms of snaps and tackles. The 29-year-old now joins his third professional franchise and figures to slot behind Zach Cunningham on the depth chart while also chipping in on special teams.

  • Increased snaps in 2020

    Thomas recorded 48 tackles (30 solo) with two passes defended over 15 games in 2020.

    Analysis: Most of Thomas' IDP production came early in the season when neither Leighton Vander Esch nor Sean Lee were available, and the veteran linebacker amassed 33 tackles during that four-game stretch. All told, Thomas wound up seeing 408 snaps on defense, more than he had in his first two seasons with the Cowboys combined. He'll head into free agency having proven he still can be more than just a special-teams ace, but he's unlikely to land a starting role with a new club.

  • Full speed ahead

    Thomas (wrist) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: After missing one game and utilizing the bye week to get healthy, Thomas will return to action this Sunday against the Vikings. With Leighton Vander Esch also healthy, Joseph will operate in a reserve role.

  • Not playing Sunday

    Thomas (wrist) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Thomas was questionable with the wrist injury but won't be suiting up Sunday. Luke Gifford could see increased snaps as a reserve linebacker behind Leighton Vander Esch.

  • Considered questionable

    Thomas (wrist) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Steelers, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News

    Analysis: Thomas is nursing an injured wrist, which has put his status for Week 9 in jeopardy. If he is ultimately unable to go, Luke Gifford could be in line for some extra snaps backing up Leighton Vander Esch at middle linebacker.

  • Notches seven stops

    Thomas posted seven tackles -- one for a loss -- and a pass breakup in Sunday's 37-34 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: After playing every snap in three straight games, Thomas logged just 46 of 68 defensive snaps (68 percent) in Sunday's win. It's an interesting development, but no Cowboys linebacker received a major boost in snap share as a result, so this could've just been the byproduct of the game evolving into a shootout. Thomas should be back to his every-down workload in Week 6 versus the Cardinals, and he'll look to add to the 38 stops he's compiled through five games.

  • Career day in Week 2 win

    Thomas recorded a career-high 12 tackles (six solo) and a QB hit in Sunday's comeback win over the Falcons.

    Analysis: With Leighton Vander Esch (collarbone) on IR, Thomas got the start alongside Jaylon Smith at linebacker and posted a very Vander Esch-like tackle total. The last time Thomas had a significant starting role, he posted 70 tackles and an INT over 16 games for the Packers in 2016, including his only other two double-digit tackle performances, so the 29-year-old may well be able to keep up this level of production for at least a few weeks.

  • Primed for increased role

    Thomas may start at linebacker for the Cowboys after the injury to Leighton Vander Esch (collarbone), Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Thomas stepped in after Vander Esch suffered the broken collarbone in the season opener and totaled five tackles on 50 defensive snaps. The Cowboys could opt to shift Jaylon Smith from weak-side linebacker to the middle in place of Vander Esch, but Thomas is the likely replacement for snaps, regardless of the specific position he plays.

  • Re-ups with Dallas

    Thomas (knee) signed a one-year contract with the Cowboys on Thursday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Thomas contributed primarily on special-teams in 2019, but he also provides the Cowboys with key depth to the linebacker corps. He'll now reunite with coach Mike McCarthy in Dallas, under whom he began his NFL career in Green Bay.

  • Fills depth role in 2019

    Thomas (knee) wrapped up the 2019 season with 33 tackles (21 solo), one pass defended and one forced fumble in 15 games.

    Analysis: Primarily a special-teams player to begin the year, Thomas saw more action on defense once Leighton Vander Esch (neck) started to have trouble staying on the field, at least until Thomas sat out Week 17 himself with a knee injury. An unrestricted free agent, the 28-year-old should be able to latch on with someone in a depth role again given his versatility.

  • Sitting Week 17

    Thomas (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Redskins, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.

    Analysis: Thomas began the week as a limited practice participant but was downgraded to non-participation Thursday and Friday. The Cowboys will need to make the playoffs in order for the 28-year-old to have a chance of playing again this season.

  • Battling knee injury

    Thomas did not practice Thursday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Thomas was limited in Wednesday's practice, so Thursday's lack of participation represents a tangible step in the wrong direction. The 28-year-old will likely need to practice in some capacity Friday for any chance of suiting up against Washington on Sunday.

  • Will play Sunday

    Thomas (knee) is officially active for Sunday's game versus the Eagles, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Thomas practiced just once on a limited basis this week but will be ready to suit up despite the lack of practice time. The 28-year-old will look to provide depth with Leighton Vander Esch (neck) out, and has 32 tackles (21 solo) this season.

  • Puts in limited practice Friday

    Thomas (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Thomas was able to practice Friday for the first time this week but on a limited basis. Justin March and Chris Covington would see extra snaps if the South Carolina State product can't go.

  • Sits out practice Wednesday

    Thomas (knee) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.

    Analysis: Thomas departed Week 15's win over the Rams with a knee injury, but coach Jason Garrett said the linebacker was okay following the game. Thomas' practice status isn't congruent with Garrett's words, but the 28-year-old has two more sessions to get back on the field. Should Thomas be ready to play Sunday versus the Eagles, he'll start at weakside linebacker.

  • Coach says he's OK

    Coach Jason Garrett doesn't believe that the leg injury Thomas suffered in Sunday's win over the Rams was a serious one, Damon R. Marx of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: This is good news, especially with Dallas already thin at linebacker. Thomas seems likely to suit up for the pivotal Week 16 clash against the Eagles, though his practice participation in the lead-up to that game will be worth monitoring.

  • Exits Sunday's game

    Thomas was forced out of Sunday's game against the Rams with a knee injury, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: The Cowboys' linebacking corps is already thin with Leighton Vander Esch (neck) inactive and Luke Gifford (arm) suffering a game-ending injury, so Thomas' departure leaves one remaining outside linebacker -- Chris Covington -- to fill in opposite Sean Lee.

  • Ready to rock

    Thomas (illness) will play in Sunday's game against the Patriots, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.

    Analysis: Thomas didn't practice all week after battling an illness, but as evidenced by this news, he has shaken off the ailment. Now that he's officially healthy for Week 12, Thomas is in line for a start at weakside linebacker with Leighton Vander Esch (neck) inactive.

  • Questionable for Sunday

    Thomas (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game at New England, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Thomas didn't practice while battling the illness all week, so his status for Sunday is firmly up in the air. The 28-year-old should help fill in for the sidelined Leighton Vander Esch (neck) at weakside linebacker if he's able to play.

    Published: Fri, Nov 22 at 2:32pm by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Battling sickness

    Thomas (illness) missed Wednesday's practices, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: The team expects Thomas to be back on the field Thursday, and his status isn't in doubt for Sunday's game against the Patriots. The 28-year-old works mainly in a reserve role, and he's generated 20 tackles (15 solo) over 10 contests.
