Inks deal with Minnesota
The Vikings agreed to terms with Thomas on Wednesday.
Analysis: The 29-year-old appeared in all 17 regular-season games for the Bucs last season and recorded 14 tackles (eight solo) as a key member of Tampa Bay's special-teams units. He logged 388 snaps in kick coverage and just 45 on defense. He'll fill a similar role with the Vikings.

Cross-training at multiple spots
Thomas is seeing reps at nickelback, strong safety and free safety early in training camp, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Thomas signed with the Buccaneers this offseason after spending the last three seasons with the Texans, arriving with extensive experience playing the slot and 22 career starts overall. Thomas has already recorded two interceptions in the first three days of camp, and head coach Todd Bowles is taking advantage of the six-year veteran's versatility by having him cross-train at three positions in order to maximize his value to the secondary.

Finds new opportunity
Thomas (hamstring) is signing a one-year contract with the Buccaneers on Monday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Analysis: Thomas spent the last three seasons in Houston, with his 2023 campaign cut short after suffering a hamstring injury in Week 14. The veteran corner is expected to compete for the nickel job and contribute on special teams, according to Auman.

Moved to IR
Thomas (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.
Analysis: Thomas suffered a hamstring injury in last Sunday's loss to the Jets and had already been ruled out for Week 15 against the Titans. With his placement on IR, he'll now be ineligible to return during the regular season. Thomas could come back for the first week of the postseason if Houston qualifies.

Won't be available at Tennessee
Thomas (hamstring) is listed as out for Sunday's game at Tennessee.
Analysis: As expected, Thomas will miss his fifth game of the season Sunday, this time due to a hamstring injury. In his place, Desmond King should continue to fill in as the Texans' primary nickel corner.

Set to miss time
Thomas is "expected to miss a few weeks" after sustaining a hamstring injury in Sunday's 30-6 loss to the Jets, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Thomas saw his defensive snap count rise from Weeks 8 to 12 before reverting back to special teams duties the last two weeks. He has 51 tackles (30 solo) and two forced fumbles in nine game this season.

Forced out Sunday
Thomas was ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Jets with a hamstring injury.
Analysis: Thomas saw significant playing time as Houston's third cornerback from Week 8 to Week 11. However, his defensive snaps took a dip Week 12, and he then played exclusively on special teams in last week's win against the Broncos. His absence will leave the Texans without one of their core special-teamers and will potentially open up more opportunities for reserve cornerbacks Ka'dar Hollman and D'Angelo Ross. Thomas' next opportunity to play will come Sunday, Dec. 17 versus Tennessee.

Second-most tackles in win
Thomas had nine tackles (seven solo) and a forced fumble in Sunday's 39-37 win over the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Working behind starters Steven Nelson and Shaquill Griffin, Thomas registered the second-most tackles on the team operating as the slot cornerback. He missed four games earlier this season dealing with a hand injury, but he has registered 16 total tackles in his last two outings while playing 97 defensive snaps across the two contests.

Inactive again
Thomas (coach's decision) is inactive ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints.
Analysis: Thomas is a healthy scratch for the second week in a row, but it seems as if the Texans are just trying to give the veteran cornerback some extra time to recover from hand surgery, per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston. The 27-year-old is expected to start at nickel for Houston's defense once he's ready to return to the field.

Not playing Week 5
Thomas (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Falcons.
Analysis: Thomas missed the last two weeks after undergoing surgery for a broken hand sustained in Week 2 against the Colts. He appears to be over the injury after practicing in full this week but will sit out an additional game. Grayland Arnold is set to see extended work at corner behind Steven Nelson and Ka'dar Hollman.

Missing second straight week
Thomas (hand) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against Pittsburgh.
Analysis: The 27-year-old underwent surgery after breaking his hand during the Texans' Week 2 loss to the Colts, so it's no surprise he's missing his second consecutive week. With Thomas missing time, Grayland Arnold is expected to see an uptick in work as the team's top nickel corner.

Won't suit up Sunday
Thomas (hand) is listed as out for Sunday's game at Jacksonville.
Analysis: Thomas missed practice all week with a hand injury and reportedly underwent surgery Tuesday, so he'll be sidelined for at least one game as he recovers. Grayland Arnold is expected to replace him as the Texans' top nickel corner.

Unlikely to play in Week 3
Thomas (hand) is expected to miss Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Thomas suffered a broken hand in Sunday's 31-20 loss to the Colts and underwent surgery, so it comes as no surprise that he's expected to be sidelined for Week 3. It's unclear how long Thomas might be sidelined beyond this weekend, but in the meantime, Grayland Arnold is expected to serve as the Texans' top nickel corner.

Sustains broken hand
Thomas suffered a broken hand during Sunday's 31-20 loss versus Indianapolis and will undergo surgery, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 reports.
Analysis: It's not clear for how long, but it seems likely Thomas will miss some time as he works through the issue. In the meantime, Shaquill Griffin will probably see increased playing time.

Re-signs with Houston
The Texans re-signed Thomas on a one-year, $3 million deal Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Thomas appeared in just 10 games last season, spending the first seven weeks on IR with a quadriceps injury. The veteran corner finished the season with 41 tackles (23 solo), one pass defensed and two forced fumbles. Thomas will likely find himself in a rotational role once again heading into the 2023 campaign.

Restored to active roster
Thomas (quadriceps) was activated to the Texans' 53-man roster Thursday.
Analysis: Thomas spent the first seven weeks of the season on Houston's IR with a quadriceps injury before being designated to return to practice last Wednesday. Now, the second-year cornerback will be available to suit up for the first heading into Thursday's game against the Eagles. Thomas played 618 defensive snaps and collected 86 tackles, four passes defended and two interceptions over 17 games with the Texans last season, and he could play a prominent reserve role if Desmond King (knee) is held out…read more

Returns to practice
Thomas (quadriceps) has been designated to return from injured reserve and is back at practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Thomas has returned to practice following the quadriceps injury he suffered in August, and the team will now have 21 days to either add him to the active roster or leave him on IR the rest of the season. The 26-year-old is expected to serve as an option at nickelback on defensive packages and operate as a special-teams ace when healthy.

Shifted to IR
Thomas (quadriceps) was placed on the Texans' injured reserve Thursday.
Analysis: Thomas has been sidelined indefinitely with a strained quadriceps since Aug. 17, and he will now be forced to remain out through at least the first four games of the regular season. The 26-year-old cornerback recorded 86 tackles, four passes defended and two interceptions over 17 games with Houston last year, and he is likely expected to play a major role once again when healthy in 2022. Until Thomas returns, Desmond King and Isaac Yiadom should see increased usage in the Texans' secondary.

Out indefinitely with pulled quad
Thomas pulled his quadriceps and is out indefinitely, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Analysis: After solidifying himself as a special-teams ace early in his career, Thomas signed with the Texans last year and served as the team's nickelback, totaling a career-high 86 tackles and two interceptions. His absence will likely heat up competition in Houston's secondary, which features plenty of unproven talent.

Has strong first season in Houston
Thomas recorded seven tackles and a quarterback hit in the 28-25 loss to Tennessee in Week 18.
Analysis: The Texans got good value from the two-year contract Thomas signed prior to the season. He played all 17 games and finished fourth on the team with 86 tackles. The 25-year-old cornerback added four passes defensed, two interceptions -- one returned for a touchdown -- and a forced fumble. He was one of several free-agent signings that panned out for Houston. Thomas, who primarily played slot corner, will return in 2022.

Finishes off Chargers
Thomas had a 48-yard interception return for a touchdown in Sunday's 41-29 win over the Chargers.
Analysis: The Chargers and quarterback Justin Herbert were down by nine with under two minutes left and attempting to get a score-onside kick recovery-score sequence to save their flagging playoff hopes when Thomas registered the first pick-six of his career. It was the second interception of the season for Thomas, who has emerged with a significant role in the Texans' secondary.

First career INT
Thomas totaled four tackles (three solo) along with one interception in the 21-14 loss to the Jets on Sunday.
Analysis: Thomas recorded his first career interception, as he picked off Zach Wilson late in the first quarter, setting up a Texans touchdown. Despite the 25-year-old's good performance Sunday, he should not be rostered in any IDP leagues due to minimal playing time and production.

Chooses Texans
Thomas agreed Wednesday with the Texans on a two-year contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Thomas spent the last three seasons in Cleveland but never made a true impact until injuries piled up in the team's secondary last season. The 25-year-old recorded 30 tackles, a sack and a forced fumble across 203 defensive snaps in 2020. The Texans will likely rely on Thomas mostly as a special-teams contributor during the upcoming campaign.

Will hit open market
The Browns don't plan to tender Thomas, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Thomas was a member of the Browns for three seasons, with the final campaign his most productive. The 24-year-old recorded a career-high 30 tackles and his first forced fumble across 16 games in 2020 while serving as the No. 3 cornerback after primarily playing on special teams in his first pair of campaigns. It appears Thomas will now aim to play a similar role elsewhere in the league.

Records sack in fill-in role
Thomas recorded four tackles and a sack in Sunday's 38-6 loss to the Ravens in Week 1.
Analysis: Thomas was elevated to the third cornerback and played 28 snaps (47 percent), as the Browns were missing Greedy Williams (shoulder) and Kevin Johnson (abdomen). Thomas could get similar usage Week 2, a short week for the Browns who play Thursday at home against Cincinnati.

Handling kick returns
Thomas returned two kickoffs for 40 yards in Sunday's 19-16 win over Buffalo.
Analysis: Thomas, who has yet to take a snap on defense, has been a staple on special teams but not as a returner. He's now handled Cleveland's kick-return duties the last two weeks, taking over for Dontrell Hilliard, who remains the team's primary punt returner. Thomas has averaged 24.3 yards on four returns.
