Thomas (concussion) was waived by the Vikings on Tuesday, Andrew Krammer of the Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas exited Minnesota's preseason finale against the Cardinals with a concussion, and it is unclear if he has cleared the league's protocols yet. Regardless, the undrafted free agent was also assumed to be on the outside looking in when it came to making the 53-man roster. Still, it remains to be seen if he will receive an offer to land on the Vikings' practice squad.

Thomas entered the Vikings' medical tent before heading to the locker room during Saturday's preseason contest versus the Cardinals, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas took a big hit on a muffed punt return in the second quarter, though it's unclear exactly what injury he could be dealing with. The undrafted rookie out of NC State did not record a catch before exiting Saturday's contest, and he is likely competing for a spot on Minnesota's practice squad as a deep reserve option at wideout and/or punt returner.

Minnesota signed Thomas as an undrafted free agent Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas, Malik Knowles and Cephus Johnson, who's converting from quarterback to wideout, all signed with Minnesota following the 2023 Draft, but they'll likely be long shots to make the initial 53-man roster given the Vikings' current wideout depth. Over five seasons at NC State, Thomas complied 215 receptions for 2,482 yards and 24 touchdowns. The soon-to-be 25-year-old also has experience as a punt returner, posting 9.7 yards per return with one career touchdown.
