Thomas was cut by the Texans on Saturday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas was active for each the team's first five games and held a role on both the defensive and special teams units. He tallied a total of 12 tackles, though his playing time did slip in recent weeks.

Thomas signed a one-year, $2 million contract with the Texans on Monday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas spent the last three seasons in Dallas, though 2020 was his busiest year with the team in terms of snaps and tackles. The 29-year-old now joins his third professional franchise and figures to slot behind Zach Cunningham on the depth chart while also chipping in on special teams.

Thomas recorded 48 tackles (30 solo) with two passes defended over 15 games in 2020.

EDGE Analysis

Most of Thomas' IDP production came early in the season when neither Leighton Vander Esch nor Sean Lee were available, and the veteran linebacker amassed 33 tackles during that four-game stretch. All told, Thomas wound up seeing 408 snaps on defense, more than he had in his first two seasons with the Cowboys combined. He'll head into free agency having proven he still can be more than just a special-teams ace, but he's unlikely to land a starting role with a new club.

EDGE Analysis

After missing one game and utilizing the bye week to get healthy, Thomas will return to action this Sunday against the Vikings. With Leighton Vander Esch also healthy, Joseph will operate in a reserve role.

Thomas (wrist) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas was questionable with the wrist injury but won't be suiting up Sunday. Luke Gifford could see increased snaps as a reserve linebacker behind Leighton Vander Esch.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas is nursing an injured wrist, which has put his status for Week 9 in jeopardy. If he is ultimately unable to go, Luke Gifford could be in line for some extra snaps backing up Leighton Vander Esch at middle linebacker.

Thomas posted seven tackles -- one for a loss -- and a pass breakup in Sunday's 37-34 win over the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

After playing every snap in three straight games, Thomas logged just 46 of 68 defensive snaps (68 percent) in Sunday's win. It's an interesting development, but no Cowboys linebacker received a major boost in snap share as a result, so this could've just been the Cowboys' plan when the game went into a shootout. Thomas should be back to his every-down workload in Week 6 versus the Cardinals, and he'll look to add to the 38 stops he's compiled through five games.

Thomas recorded a career-high 12 tackles (six solo) and a QB hit in Sunday's comeback win over the Falcons.

EDGE Analysis

With Leighton Vander Esch (collarbone) on IR, Thomas got the start alongside Jaylon Smith at linebacker and posted a very Vander Esch-like tackle total. The last time Thomas had a significant starting role, he posted 70 tackles and an INT over 16 games for the Packers in 2016, including his only other two double-digit tackle performances, so the 29-year-old may well be able to keep up this level of production for at least a few weeks.

Thomas may start at linebacker for the Cowboys after the injury to Leighton Vander Esch (collarbone), Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas stepped in after Vander Esch suffered the broken collarbone in the season opener and totaled five tackles on 50 defensive snaps. The Cowboys could opt to shift Jaylon Smith from weakside linebacker to the middle in place of Vander Esch, but Thomas is the likely replacement for snaps, regardless of the specific position he plays.

Thomas (knee) signed a one-year contract with the Cowboys on Thursday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas contributed primarily on special-teams in 2019, but he also provides the Cowboys with key depth to the linebacker corps. He'll now reunite with coach Mike McCarthy in Dallas, under whom he began his NFL career in Green Bay.
