The Bills released Thomas (knee) from IR with an injury settlement Tuesday, per the league's official transactions log.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas was a long shot to make Buffalo's 53-man roster even before being injured. The fifth-year pro is free to search for a role elsewhere in the league when back to full health.

Buffalo has placed Thomas (knee) on its injured reserve list, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas had been nursing a knee injury that forced him to miss practice time, and finally was forced to make the move to IR. He was viewed as a longshot to make the roster, so his absence shouldn't be a huge loss to the Bills' defense.

Thomas did not practice Thursday due to a knee injury, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas re-joined the Bills at the tail end of last season after being cut by the team in October. He was already viewed as a longshot to make the final roster, so an injury won't do him any favors.

The Bills released Thomas on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas saw the field for just six defensive snaps in the two games he appeared in thus far in 2018. His release opened the door for the team's claiming of another defensive tackle, Jordan Phillips, off waivers from Miami.

Thomas was called up from the practice squad Saturday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
In a somewhat surprising move, the Bills cut veteran receiver Jeremy Kerley, hence leaving room on the roster for Thomas, who will provide defensive line depth after the Bills finally gave up on Adolphus Washington during the week.

Thomas (calf) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas was limited on Wednesday with the calf injury, but after a full session Thursday, the reserve defensive lineman should be ready to go for Sunday's matchup with the Rams.

Thomas (soreness) played in Monday's game against the Browns.
EDGE Analysis
He only played 68 snaps in 2016, but Thomas is competing for a larger role on the defensive front this season. Now that he's healthy, Thomas can try stealing snaps from fellow tackle Jay Bromley.

Thomas (soreness) is unlikely to play in the Giants' preseason opener Friday against the Steelers, ESPN's Jordan Raanan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas doesn't appear to be dealing with a serious issue in the slightest, so he should be back in action sooner than later.

Thomas signed a one-year contract with the Giants on Tuesday, James Kratch of the New Jersey Advanced Media reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas played in just eight games in 2016, seeing the field for 68 snaps. He recorded five tackles, including a sack, while flashing some decent pass rush potential. He'll have a chance to compete for a larger role with the team in 2017.
