Head coach Hue Jackson reiterated Monday that Thomas is not on the trading block, NFL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran left tackle has often been mentioned in trade conversation given the point he is at in his career, and where the Browns currently are as a franchise. However, Jackson stated Monday that Thomas has "a lot to do with what we're trying to accomplish here in the future". The 31-year-old is signed through the 2018 season, and still considered one of the best left tackles in football.

Thomas missed Wednesday's practice in order for him to rest, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas was dealing with a back injury toward the end of training camp, so the Browns don't want to push him too hard and make him practice when he doesn't need it. The 31-year-old will be in there on Sunday as the Browns take on the Ravens.

Thomas (back) took part in Sunday's practice, Cleveland.com's Mary Kay Cabot reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas is dealing with a lingering back injury that flared up last weekend. However, after missing the Browns' preseason tilt on Thursday, he was able to take part in team drills during Sunday's practice, though the team was not sporting full pads. Thomas may be held out of fully-padded practices for the foreseeable future, but he should be near full-health entering the regular season and set to bookend the left side of the Browns' offensive line.
