Thomas (shoulder) was a limited participant during Thursday's walkthrough, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas continues to recover from a shoulder injury that he sustained during the fourth quarter of the Seahawks' NFC Championship Game victory over the Rams on Sunday, when he logged six tackles (one solo). Super Bowl LX doesn't take place until Sunday, Feb. 8, so Thomas will have additional time to recover from his injury before facing the Patriots.

Thomas (shoulder) was estimated as a limited practice participant on the Seahawks' injury report Wednesday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas' shoulder was banged up during the final two minutes of the NFC Championship, and the injury is still bugging him as Seattle begins prepping for the Super Bowl. With fellow starting linebacker Ernest Jones already dealing with a chest injury, Thomas' health could be crucial against a run-first Patriots offense.

Thomas (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas is being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return, though the game is in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter. Tyrice Knight and Boye Mafe would be in line for more snaps at linebacker should the Seahawks' defense take the field down the stretch.

Thomas recorded one tackle (one solo) and a fumble recovery during Sunday's 21-19 loss against the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas' tackle total in Week 11 was his lowest since Week 2, but he partially salvaged the day by scooping up a Puka Nacua fumble early in the third quarter to set up a Seahawks field goal. Owing to a recent uptick in playing time, he's firmly on the IDP radar going into a Week 12 tilt at Tennessee.
