Daniel Thomas (hamstring) was limited in Thursday's practice.
We'd feel more comfortable about Thomas as a solid RB2 if he's upgraded to full practice on Friday. While Reggie Bush is practicing fully, he was sporting a limp and an ice pack on his surgically repaired knee Thursday afternoon. We still expect Thomas to garner the majority of the touches against the Jets.

Daniel Thomas (hamstring) is practicing again on Thursday.
One reporter noted that Thomas was tentative in Tuesday's practice, but we've seen no concern that he's in danger of missing this week's game. Rotoworld ranks Thomas the No. 17 fantasy back against a struggling Jets run defense this week.

Daniel Thomas (hamstring) returned to practice on Tuesday.
According to Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald, Thomas still looks a "bit tentative" with his hamstring. Thomas insisted last week that he would be ready for the Jets game, and Salguero believes that remains the case barring a setback. Feel free to pencil him to fantasy lineups, but check back later in the week for a progress update.

Daniel Thomas (hamstring) insisted Tuesday that he will be ready for the Jets game in Week 6.
Thomas didn't participate in Tuesday's practice. He'll likely take the rest of the week off to get his hamstring rested in time to ramp up his participation level in Week 6. As long as he's healthy, Thomas should return to the lead-back role. Reggie Bush will go back to passing-down work. Lex Hilliard will return to special teams, and Steve Slaton will ride the pine.

NFL Network's Jeff Darlington confirms that Daniel Thomas' hamstring injury is an aggravation of the ailment that kept him out of Week 1.
Darlington, who covered the Dolphins for the Miami Herald before joining NFL Net, also confirms that Thomas is out for Week 4 despite a "questionable" listing on the injury report. Thomas' recent flare-up is cause for concern, and threatens to cost him multiple games considering the setback-prone nature of hamstring injuries in general. Pick Reggie Bush back up if he was dropped.

The Dolphins have ruled out Daniel Thomas (hamstring) for Week 4 against San Diego.
Thomas and LCB Vontae Davis (hamstring) both were left off the Fins' team flight to California. Thomas' absence means Reggie Bush will draw the start for a Miami team that may take on more of a pass-first approach against the Chargers, similar to its Week 1 game against New England. Unfortunately, Bush probably won't get goal-line carries, and his production across the board has been subpar. He's only a flex option.

Daniel Thomas (hamstring) was held out of practice on Friday.
Thomas' absence is a major concern after his early-season hamstring injury "flared up" in Thursday's practice. At this point, he can't be expected to play against the Chargers. We wouldn't go rushing to the waiver wire to add Steve Slaton just yet; he doesn't even know the offense. If Thomas does sit out, Reggie Bush is a good bet for 15-20 touches with Lex Hilliard handling short-yardage work.

The South Florida Sun-Sentinel confirms that Daniel Thomas' hamstring injury "flared up" in Thursday's practice.
The Sun-Sentinel's headline reads that the Dolphins are "concerned" about Thomas' hamstring, but they failed to follow up with details beyond the flare-up. Fantasy owners need to check back on Friday afternoon to assure that Thomas' setback wasn't major.

Daniel Thomas was added to the Dolphins' injury list as limited with a hamstring ailment.
It's presumably the same hamstring that nagged Thomas entering the season. The Dolphins may be just giving him some extra rest if it cramped up in practice. Thomas is not believed to be in any danger of missing Sunday's game against the Chargers.
