Thomas (calf) is working out on a side field rather than practicing with the main group Wednesday, Pete Hailey of NBC Sports Washington reports.
The activity is perhaps a sign of progress after two missed games, but Thomas' continued absence from practice leaves him uncertain for a matchup with the Packers on Sunday. The Commanders put rookie Cole Turner in a three-down role at tight end last Thursday against the Bears after No. 2 option John Bates hurt his hamstring in pregame warmups. Injury reports over the next few days should provide clarity on Week 7 expectations for Washington's tight-end snaps and targets.
