Thomas played a season-high 20 offensive snaps Sunday in the Rams' 17-7 win over the Bears, finishing with one catch for nine yards on three targets.

EDGE Analysis

After playing almost exclusively on special teams while drawing just one target through the Rams' first 10 games, Thomas saw his profile on offense grow out of necessity with Los Angeles down two of its top three receivers in Brandin Cooks (concussion) and Robert Woods (personal). Coach Sean McVay expressed optimism that Cooks would be back for the Rams' Week 12 game against the Ravens, a development that would leave no room for Thomas in three-receiver sets.

Thomas brought in all three of his targets for 76 yards in the Rams' 10-6 preseason win over the Broncos on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas notched a game-high 51-yard reception to help stake him to the team lead in receiving yards for the contest. The four-year pro only has eight catches over 24 career games and has primarily seen time on special teams, but head coach Sean McVay has talked up the possibility of Thomas seeing more time from scrimmage during the coming season if he latches on to a roster spot.

Head coach Sean McVay believes Thomas can contribute as a receiver this season.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas has only suited up for 24 games through his first three years in the league, but he's impressed McVay this offseason and is a proven contributor on special teams. The Rams are loaded with receivers, so it's unlikely Thomas makes a major splash in the passing attack, and it's best to continue taking a wait and see approach with him.

Thomas caught two of five targets for 23 yards during Saturday's 14-10 preseason loss to the Cowboys.

EDGE Analysis

Although Thomas finished third on the team in targets, he did little with his looks outside of a 20-yard gain. He practically doubled his output from the preseason opener, but his production was still quite pedestrian even in the absence of many of the regular skill-position players. Thomas is facing an uphill battle to make a team that already has a deep group of wideouts.

Thomas started and caught his only target for 12 yards during Saturday's 14-3 preseason loss to Oakland. He was on the field for 17 of 59 offensive snaps.

EDGE Analysis

The Rams have their receiver depth chart solidified at the top with Brandin Cooks, Robert Woods, Cooper Kupp and Josh Reynolds, so Thomas is battling to make the 53-man roster. He's having a strong preseason and has been a solid contributor on special teams in the past, so there's a legitimate chance Thomas opens the season on the team's roster.

Thomas' explosiveness and receiving skills have caught head coach Sean McVay's attention, Vincent Bonsignore of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

A Week 1 groin injury ended Thomas' 2018 campaign, and he was also limited to just eight contests in 2017 because of a PED suspension and an ankle injury. While his work on special teams gives him a legitimate shot at cracking the 53-man roster to open the year, and McVay's comments are endorsing, Thomas remains off the fantasy radar in the majority of settings until proven otherwise.

Thomas (groin) was placed on injured reserve Monday, Clarence Dennis of the Rams' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas underwent a groin procedure on Sep. 14 that will keep him out for the foreseeable future. Josh Reynolds and JoJo Natson figure to be the beneficiaries of Thomas' absence.

Thomas (hip) underwent a groin procedure Friday and will not play in Week 2, Vincent reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas underwent a procedure to address the groin injury he sustained in the Rams' season opener. The depth wideout is likely to miss multiple weeks due to the injury, and fellow receivers Josh Reynolds and JoJo Natson could see an increase in usage while Thomas remains sidelined.

The injury report indicates Thomas is battling a hip injury, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports. He could be sidelined "weeks" because of the issue, Joe Curley of the Ventura County Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

Head coach Sean McVay suggested Wednesday that a groin injury was the culprit behind Thomas' absence, but the official injury report indicates otherwise. Regardless, Thomas is set to miss extended time because of the issue and can likely be ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Cardinals. The Rams added some depth at the position Wednesday by re-signing JoJo Natson.

Head coach Sean McVay said Tuesday that Thomas suffered a groin injury in the season-opening win over the Raiders that could sideline the wideout for "weeks," Joe Curley of the Ventura County Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas only played 12 snaps -- all on special teams -- in the 33-13 victory, but that was apparently enough for the 24-year-old to get banged up. Given McVay's comments, it seems rather unlikely that Thomas will practice this week or play Sunday against the Cardinals, but the Rams may not make a formal ruling on his status until Friday. In addition to Thomas, fellow depth wideout Pharoh Cooper (ankle) also appears in store for a multi-week absence, which could prompt the Rams to add another receiver to the roster.
