The Browns waived Thomas on Saturday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas looked to be in the mix for a depth role at defensive end during training camp, but he ultimately wasn't able to carve out a spot on the final roster. He started eight games for the Browns in 2019.

Thomas (neck) participated in Thursday's practice, Marla reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas suffered a neck injury during Tuesday's practice, but it looks as though he's already put the issue behind him. The Browns are relying on him to handle a key depth role at defensive end.

Thomas left Tuesday's practice early due to a neck injury, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

While there isn't a report on the severity of Thomas' injury, he was one of two defensive ends -- Adrian Clayborn (groin) being the other -- absent by the end of practice. The Browns have dominant starters in Myles Garrett and Olivier Vernon, but their depth at defensive end is just as impressive. That could be in danger if Thomas doesn't make a swift recovery.

Thomas played all 16 games, recording 26 tackles, four sacks, one pass defensed and one fumble recovery in 2019.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas opened the season as depth on the defensive line, but had his playing time increased following Olivier Vernon's knee injury and Myles Garrett's suspension. The Browns may have discovered something in the 2018 third-round draft pick out of Miami. He has two more years remaining on his rookie deal and will be part of the rotation on the defensive line in 2020.

Thomas (chest/ribs) does not have an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Bengals, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas practiced in full all week, so this result was expected. The 24-year-old has four sacks while appearing in all 13 games for the Browns.

Thomas recorded a sack on his lone tackle in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Steelers.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas posted a sack for the third time in the last four games and is making the most of increased playing time with Myles Garrett (suspension) out and Olivier Vernon just getting over a knee injury. Thomas himself was removed from Sunday's game but returned after a visit to the injury tent, according to Scott Patsko of the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Thomas recorded three solo tackles, one sack and one defended pass during Thursday's 21-7 win over the Steelers.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas has now recorded a sack in two straight games while filling in for Olivier Vernon (knee), playing a season-high 57 defensive snaps (77 percent) along the way. Vernon may be back in Week 12 against the Dolphins, but Thomas should still be in store for another turn in the starting lineup with the Browns' top defensive end, Myles Garrett, likely facing a lengthy suspension after swinging his helmet at the unprotected head of Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph during a skirmish on the final drive of Thursday's game.

Thomas had two tackles, one sack and one quarterback hit in Sunday's 19-16 win over the Bills.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas was the fill-in starter for the injured Olivier Vernon (knee) and played a season-high 54 snaps (74 percent). With the Browns turning it around quickly to play Thursday at home against Pittsburgh, Thomas could be in line for elevated playing time once again.

Thomas is prepared to start in place of the injured Olivier Vernon (knee) on Sunday against the Bills, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas hasn't played much this season, which is natural for a player sitting behind producers like Vernon and Myles Garrett. Thomas, a 2018 third-round pick out of Miami, has eight tackles and one sack in eight games.

Thomas (neck) is participating at practice Monday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas was carted off the field at practice last week with the neck injury, but he avoided a severe injury as he was diagnosed with a sprain. The 2018 third-round pick will resume his fight for a role in the Browns' defensive line rotation.
