The Jets placed Thomas (shoulder) on injured reserve Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas has been dealing with a shoulder issue since last week's loss to the Dolphins, and he was already ruled out for this Sunday's contest versus Jacksonville. He'll now shift to IR for the remainder of the regular season, which will effectively end his 2025 campaign since the Jets have already been eliminated from playoff contention. Thomas tallied 22 tackles and seven passes defended across 12 appearances during his 2025 rookie season. In his absence, Qwan'tez Stiggers and/or Tre Brown should be in line for bigger roles opposite starting cornerback Brandon Stephens.

Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said Friday that Thomas (shoulder) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas suffered a shoulder injury Week 14 against the Dolphins but managed to retake the field and finish out that contest, so it's somewhat surprising to see him unable to play versus Jacksonville. Qwan'tez Stiggers and Ja'Sir Taylor will be candidates to inherit substantial roles on defense for as long as Thomas remains sidelined.

Thomas (shoulder) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas briefly left during the second quarter of this past Sunday's loss to the Dolphins, but he was cleared to return in the same frame and finished with two solo tackles and one pass defense while playing 59 of 65 defensive snaps (90.8 percent). His ability to return to the game indicates that the shoulder issue isn't a severe one, but the rookie third-rounder's practice participation over the next two days will shed light on his chances of playing this Sunday against Jacksonville. Thomas has started in each of his last five games, accumulating 18 tackles (12 solo), including two tackles for a loss, and five pass defenses over that span.

Thomas (concussion) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Ravens.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas was a full participant in practice all week, and he's been cleared by an independent neurologist to exit the league's concussion protocol. The rookie third-rounder has stepped into a more prominent role in the Jets' secondary following Sauce Gardner's trade to the Colts in early November.

Head coach Aaron Glenn told reporters Wednesday that Thomas will be cleared from concussion protocol, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear whether Thomas has already cleared protocol following Glenn's comments Wednesday, but it appears as if he'll return for the Jets' Week 12 matchup against the Ravens on Sunday. The rookie corner from Florida State has recorded 12 total tackles and four passes defensed across just nine appearances this season. He's likely to have a larger role on the Jets' defense with Sauce Gardner being dealt to the Colts in early November.

Thomas (concussion) has been ruled out for the Jets matchup versus the Patriots on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas remains in the league's concussion protocol after sustaining a concussion in the Week 10 win over the Browns. In the 21-year-old's absence, Qwan'tez Stiggers could see increased playing time against New England.

Thomas (concussion) was estimated to be a non-participant at Monday's walkthrough, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas suffered a concussion in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Browns, so his absence Monday comes as a no surprise. The cornerback is facing an uphill battle to being available for Thursday night's contest against the Patriots, and if he's unavailable, Quan'tez Stiggers would be a candidate to see an increase in workload in New York's secondary.

Thomas (head) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Browns.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas went to the locker room to be evaluated for a concussion after taking a hit to the head. It's unclear whether he's been officially diagnosed with a concussion, but he has not been cleared to return to Sunday's game, so Ja'Sir Taylor and Qwan'tez Stiggers are slated for more snaps at outside corner the rest of the way.

Thomas is going through concussion evaluations and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Browns, Brian Costello of The New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The cornerback had two solo tackles and a pass breakup before leaving the contest. Thomas stepped into a starting role after Sauce Gardner was traded to the Colts this past week. Ja'Sir Taylor or Qwan'tez Stiggers could replace Thomas on Sunday.

Thomas (shoulder) did not appear on the Jets' injury report Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas was nursing a shoulder injury throughout August, but he now appears to be back to full health ahead of Week 1. The 21-year-old is expected to operate as a depth option at cornerback behind Sauce Gardner (leg) and Brandon Stephens in 2025.
