Thomas (knee) is active for Sunday's Week 11 clash against the Colts. Thomas missed last Sunday's contest against the Cardinals due to a knee injury that he suffered on Halloween against Houston. However, the defensive lineman was able to finish this week with a pair of limited practice sessions, setting him up to play against Indianapolis. Thomas has 2.5 sacks through nine contests on the campaign.
Thomas (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's clash against the Cardinals, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. Thomas hurt his knee in New York's Halloween game against Houston, and though he was able to return to that contest, he wasn't able to practice at all this week. The defensive lineman has played a rotational role for the Jets this season, logging less than half of the team's defensive snaps each of the past six weeks. With Thomas out Sunday, Leonard Taylor could see more than his usual allotment of defensive snaps.
Thomas (knee) returned to the field in the second quarter of Thursday's contest against the Texans, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. Thomas was briefly sidelined with a knee injury that he suffered in the first half against Houston, but he was able to quickly return. The 29-year-old is back in his role as a depth option on New York's defensive line.
Thomas (knee) is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Texans. The defensive lineman did not record a stat before exiting. Thomas has 15 tackles, including 1.5 sacks, a pass breakup and a forced fumble on the year. Leonard Taylor is New York's other backup defensive tackle.
The Jets re-signed Thomas on Friday, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports. The 28-year-old defensive lineman is now in line to remain in New York after spending the last two seasons with the Jets. Thomas has appeared in 34 games over the past two years, recording 53 total tackles, including 5.5 sacks (5.0 in 2023) and an additional 3.5 tackles for loss. The 2017 first-round pick has started just three games during his time in New York, so he'll likely compete for another depth role on the Jets' defensive line this offseason.
Thomas has 2.5 sacks in 2023, 1.5 of which have come in the last two games. He accounted for one of the three sacks New York mustered against rookie quarterback Aidan O'Connell in the low-scoring loss.
