Colts LG Donald Thomas re-tore his quad during Wednesday's practice and will need surgery. It's the same injury that cost Thomas the final 14 games of last season. This tear will likely cost him all 16 games this year, meaning he will have played in two games since signing a four-year, $14 million deal with the Colts in March of 2013. It's another stinging blow to the Colts as Thomas was projected to both start at left guard and be the primary backup center. They'll now have to thrust second-round rookie Jack Mewhort into a major role.

Colts LG Donald Thomas (quad) is not participating in OTAs. This doesn't come as a surprise. Thomas missed the final 14 games of last season and is still rehabbing the injury. He's expected to be ready for the start of training camp. Lance Louis has been running with the first-team offense at left guard in OTAs, while second-rounder Jack Mewhort works with the twos.

Colts GM Ryan Grigson revealed that, in addition to his torn quad, LG Donald Thomas tore his biceps in Week 2. The injuries remarkably happened on the same series against the Dolphins.

Colts LG Donald Thomas was carted off the field Sunday with an injured right knee and will not return. He was replaced by rookie Hugh Thornton. Thomas was quickly declared done for the day, which bodes poorly for his chances of returning anytime soon. The Colts signed Thomas to a four-year, $14 million contract during the offseason.

Coach Chuck Pagano confirmed the Colts will play Donald Thomas at left guard. Thomas, who signed a four-year, $14 million contract, has played all three interior line positions. The Colts believe he's an equally strong pass protector as run blocker. If the season started today, Indy's O-Line would look like this: LT Anthony Castonzo, LG Thomas, C Samson Satele, RG Mike McGlynn, and RT Gosder Cherilus. They could afford to upgrade on McGlynn at right guard.

Colts agreed to terms with OG Donald Thomas, formally of the Patriots. Indianapolis made it a priority to upgrade the offensive line, and they have added RT Gosder Cherilus and now Thomas to come in and help solidify things. Thomas started seven games for the Patriots last season and proved to be a top reserve. He can play any of the interior line positions, and the Colts need help at all three.

The Boston Globe reports the Patriots have interest in re-signing free agent G/C Donald Thomas, but it's "fully expected" he'll test the open market. Thomas was an invaluable reserve behind Logan Mankins and Dan Connolly last season, but his strong play may have priced him out of the Patriots' plans. The former sixth-round pick won't turn 28 until September.
