Thomas was waived by the Jets on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
If Thomas clears waivers the Jets will likely add the 6'3, 286-pound fullback to their practice squad. The 2016 undrafted free agent played in 17 games with Gang Green in 2016-17, predominantly seeing usage as a blocker.

Thomas (concussion) did not practice Monday and has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Buffalo, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Had the Jets not been on a short week, there's a small chance Thomas would have been benefited from the extra days rest and been available for a Sunday contest. With Thomas out, the Jets will lean more heavily on the shoulders of Leonard Williams and Kony Ealy in Week 9 action.

EDGE Analysis
Lawrence landed on the team's practice squad after failing to make it through final cuts. However, the team appears to be looking to add depth on the defensive line, so Thomas will get an opportunity to fill the role.

Thomas (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve, the team announced Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Just a day after head coach Todd Bowles originally said that Thomas would miss "at least a couple weeks" with a torn labrum, Thomas was placed on injured reserve, so the timetable for his return is still up in the air. Sheldon Richardson and Jarvis Jenkins will likely see an increase in snaps with Thomas out. Jeremy Ross was signed Thursday to the team's open roster spot.

Thomas (shoulder) underwent an MRI on Monday, Ralph Vacchiano of SNY.tv reports.
EDGE Analysis
Look for a timetable for the injury to be released later in the week as the specifics of the injury are still unknown. The rookie is playing behind veteran Muhammad Wilkerson, giving him limited chances to take the field regardless of his health status.
