Daniel Thomas is listed on the Week 9 injury report with an elbow issue, but is practicing in full.
Thomas carried the ball 15 times in Sunday's win over the Jets, but gained just 42 yards (2.8 YPC). He won't be a viable flex option against the Colts.

Daniel Thomas had 15 carries for 42 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Jets.
Thomas vultured a three-yard touchdown from Reggie Bush early in the game and was featured in all short-yardage situations. After dealing with multiple concussions to start the year, he's being used in a complementary role behind Bush as the Dolphins' power back. His 15 carries were his second highest total this season. He added one catch for three-yards and was targeted three times in the passing game.

Daniel Thomas (concussion) is probable for Week 8.
Thomas is ready to return after getting in a week of full practices. With Reggie Bush (knee) having had two weeks to get healthier, however, Thomas shouldn't be in for more than 4-5 carries against the Jets. He remains a pure handcuff.

Daniel Thomas (concussion) is practicing in full this week.
Thomas is just three weeks removed from his second concussion of the season, but it sounds like he'll be good to go as Reggie Bush's backup in Week 8 against the Jets.

According to the Palm Beach Post, Daniel Thomas (concussion) appeared "full go" at Monday's practice.
The Dolphins were just getting in an informal session coming off their bye week, but it's a good sign 48 hours ahead of their return to official practice on Wednesday. Thomas should be ready to resume back-up duties against the Jets.

Daniel Thomas (concussions) said Tuesday that he's been cleared for contact.
It's a mild surprise considering Thomas had sustained two concussions in a five-week span. He'll return to practice when the Dolphins come out of their bye and return to a backup role behind Reggie Bush.

Daniel Thomas (concussions) has been ruled out for Week 6.
After two concussions in a five-week span, Thomas may have trouble getting cleared anytime soon. Lamar Miller will take over as Reggie Bush's caddy.

Daniel Thomas (concussion) remained out of Dolphins practice Thursday.
Thomas isn't going to play Sunday, leaving rookie Lamar Miller to back-up a banged up Reggie Bush one week after failing to play a single snap. The Rams' run defense isn't particularly imposing, but Miller is unlikely to make for a productive flex option.

Dolphins RB Daniel Thomas has been officially listed with a concussion.
The Dolphins held off on announcing that Thomas sustained a concussion in Miami's Week 5 win over the Bengals until Wednesday after practice. With this being Thomas' second concussion this season, there is certainly cause for concern. No timetable has been set for his return.
