Thomas (calf) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Eagles, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports. Thomas was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday but logged a full practice Friday and should be ready to roll for Week 12. The veteran defensive lineman has appeared in nine games this season, producing 19 tackles (eight solo) and one pass breakup on 45 percent of the defensive snaps.

Thomas (calf) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Clarence Hill Jr. of AllDLLS.com reports. The defensive tackle was estimated to be a limited participant in Wednesday's walkthrough. Thomas missed Monday's win over the Raiders due to the calf issue, but his return to the field during the practice week should be a positive sign ahead of Sunday's clash with the Eagles.

Thomas (calf) did not participate in Thursday's practice, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports. The lone Cowboy to not practice in any capacity Thursday, Thomas is still dealing with a calf injury he suffered in the Week 9 loss to the Cardinals. The fact the defensive tackle was unable to practice despite a full week of rest due to the Cowboys' Week 10 bye signals he will likely not be ready to play in Monday's contest against the Raiders. For any chance to suit up, Thomas would need to practice in at least limited fashion Friday and Saturday.

Thomas tallied 26 total tackles (15 solo), including 3.5 sacks, two passes defended and one forced fumble over 16 games in 2024. Despite starting just one game in 2024, Thomas was relatively productive, playing 430 defensive snaps and ranking fifth on the Jets' defense in tackles for loss (five) and sacks. While his tackle (31 to 26) and sack (5.0 to 3.5) totals declined from his 2023 campaign, he played 36 fewer defensive snaps this season and recorded more passes defended (two to one) and forced fumbles (one to zero) than in 2023. Thomas is now set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer after signing a one-year, $2.35 million deal with the Jets last offseason. If he remains with New York in 2025, he's likely to serve as one of the team's top reserve defensive linemen.

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.
