Thomas (ankle) practiced fully Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas' full participation Thursday puts the tight end on track to suit up Sunday against the Chiefs. He's scored in each of his last two games, but with a total of eight catches for 76 yards over his last three games since the Jaguars' bye week, Thomas' fantasy value of late has been TD-dependent.

Thomas (ankle) converted six targets into three receptions for 28 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 36-22 loss to the Titans.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas helped break the ice for the Jaguars with his 10-yard score, but the touchdown came after they were already facing a 27-0 deficit early in the third quarter. However, it marked Thomas' second straight game crossing the goal line, and third time overall on the season. While he hasn't cleared 28 yards since Week 2, the veteran tight end has seen five or more targets in all but one game this season. Although he continues to be a third option for Blake Bortles behind Allen Hurns and Allen Robinson, the sixth-year pro has established himself as a solid red-zone threat.

Thomas (ankle) is listed as active for Thursday night's game against the Titans.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas will give it a go Thursday, but it remains to be seen how close to 100 percent he'll be, with the Jaguars on a short week. In Week 7, the tight end caught three of seven targets for 20 yards and a TD in this past Sunday's 33-16 loss to the Raiders, seeing action on 55 of the team's 68 snaps on offense.

Thomas (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game against the Titans.
EDGE Analysis
The Jaguars list Thomas -- who did not practice Tuesday -- as limited in Wednesday's practice participation field, with the tight end's status clearly worth monitoring as Thursday's 8:25 ET kickoff approaches, given that he and Jared Odrick (quad/questionable) are the only two players who the team applied Week 8 injury designations to.

Thomas (ankle) did not participate in Tuesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas was listed as limited on Monday's injury report, which provided an estimation of what each player's availability would've been if the team had actually practiced. With the Jaguars taking the field for a real practice Tuesday, their starting tight end wasn't available. However, no setback has been reported after Thomas played through the ankle issue in Sunday's loss to Oakland -- suggesting he's merely sitting out as a matter of maintenance. He logged 54 of 67 snaps in Sunday's game, catching three of seven targets for 20 yards and a touchdown.

Thomas (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimation.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas, who caught three of seven targets for 20 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to Oakland, was on the field for 54 of 67 snaps on offense in the contest, which suggests that his (estimated) practice limitations are indicative of a maintenance approach that the Jaguars would have employed had they actually practiced Monday. We expect Thomas to be available for Thursday's game against the Titans.

Thomas (ankle) caught three of seven targets for 20 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to Oakland.
EDGE Analysis
Three defenders were draping over Thomas on his nine-yard touchdown snag in the fourth quarter. The play was reminiscent of many of the 24 touchdowns Thomas scored in his final two seasons in Denver - a physically dominant Thomas overpowering those covering him. Things haven't come as easy in Jacksonville and the hobbled Thomas recorded just one touchdown and no red-zone targets in his first four games of 2016. Sunday showed signs of change as Thomas was targeted thrice in the red-zone, including his late-game score. Expect a Jacksonville offense struggling to put points on the board to look to Thomas for answers more in the coming weeks.

Thomas (ankle) is active for Sunday's Week 7 tilt versus the Raiders.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran tight end's ankle ailment popped up on Thursday's injury report, yet it apparently wasn't serious enough to warrant what would have been yet another stint on the inactive list. Thomas missed two games earlier in the season with an elbow injury, but will tough it out against a vulnerable Raiders defense Sunday.

Thomas (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders, but coach Gus Bradley says he "should be good" to suit up, The Florida Times-Union reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas surfaced on Jaguars' injury report Thursday with an ankle injury, and although he'll continue to be evaluated into the weekend, the tight end should still be fine to play Sunday. While his availability will need to be confirmed prior to Jacksonville's 1:00 ET kickoff, Thomas' matchup with the Raiders seemingly bodes well for an improvement on his lackluster production since Week 2.
