Thomas is dealing with a groin injury according to head coach Sean McVay, Rich Hammond of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Look for more details on the injury to emerge later this week but it's not a good sign for the Rams, as starting returner Pharoh Cooper is likely out multiple weeks after suffering an ankle injury in Monday's win over the Raiders.

Thomas worked with the second-team offense at June minicamp, Myles Simmons of the Rams' official website reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Brandin Cooks, Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp locked in as starters, Josh Reynolds (shoulder) expected to retain the No. 4 role and Pharoh Cooper coming off a Pro Bowl appearance as a return specialist, Thomas needs to compete with a slew of young players for what likely will be one roster spot. The 2016 sixth-round pick has caught eight passes in 24 NFL games, getting most of his snaps on special teams.

Thomas (ankle) is officially inactive for Saturday night's wild-card game against the Falcons, Myles Simmons of the Rams' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas was listed as doubtful after not practicing this week, so this result was to be expected. The 23-year-old sustained the injury in Week 17 against the 49ers and currently has no official timetable for his return.

Thomas (ankle) is doubtful for Saturday's wild-card game against the Falcons, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Rams rested most of their primary skill-position talent Week 17, giving Thomas and others a rare opportunity for significant run. Thomas took advantage of the situation, with a team-leading 75 yards on three receptions. He emerged from the contest with an ankle injury, though, which kept him away from the practice field this week. Due to his status, he's a near guarantee to land on the inactive list Saturday.

Thomas caught three of four targets for a team-high 75 yards in the Rams' 34-13 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The Rams held out their top three wideouts -- Robert Woods, Sammy Watkins and Cooper Kupp -- in Week 17 in order to preserve them for the playoffs, affording extended snaps to a number of depth receivers. Despite briefly departing with an ankle injury, Thomas capitalized on the increased opportunity, outpacing all other Rams pass catchers by 45 yards during the contest. The bulk of Thomas' damage came on a 50-yard strike down the sideline in the second half. Look for Thomas to see only limited usage in the Rams' first-round playoff matchup against the Falcons if he's not inactive for the game as a healthy scratch.

Thomas (ankle) has returned to Sunday's game against the 49ers, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas exited earlier in the first half with the ankle injury and was deemed questionable to return, but came back to make a 50-yard reception down the sideline from quarterback Sean Mannion.

Thomas is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the 49ers with an ankle injury, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas had potential opportunities in Week 17 with starting receivers Robert Woods and Sammy Watkins not expected to see many snaps, but he exited with the ankle injury in the first half. The 23-year-old was already buried on the Rams' depth chart and his absence shouldn't spark significant changes to the team's offense Sunday.

Thomas caught his only target for 12 yards during Sunday's 24-7 loss to Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

After serving a four-game suspension to start the season, this was just the second contest Thomas has suited up for. He only saw the field for eight offensive snaps Sunday, too. At this stage of the game, the second-year receiver is too far down the depth chart and playing too sparingly to be a viable fantasy option in the majority of settings.

Thomas was reinstated to the active roster Monday, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas, who returned from a four-game suspension last week, joins an already-crowded receiving corps and isn't worth fantasy consideration right off the bat. The Rams waived safety Mo Alexander in a corresponding move.

Thomas will return from his four-game suspension as the seventh receiver on the Rams' depth chart, Lindsey Thiry of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Rams opted not to bump any receivers from their 53-man roster when Thomas was activated from his suspension, so he will now be hard pressed to find the field early on. It will likely take an injury or poor play from a few other receivers ahead of the 30-year-old on the depth chart before he gets much run.
