Earl Thomas: Wants to resume NFL career
Earl Thomas said Friday that he wants to resume his NFL career, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Thomas hasn't played in the NFL since 2019 and turns 33 in May, but he told Schefter via text, "I'm ready, I'm in shape. My timing is on point." The 2010 first-round pick by Seattle had an on-field confrontation with former Ravens teammate Chuck Clark ahead of the 2020 campaign and was cut by Baltimore, with the team citing "personal conduct that has adversely affected the Ravens." After his $10 million contact was voided, the former All-Pro safety filed a grievance with his old team and has remained out of the NFL since. Thomas has 30 career interceptions and finished with at least 50 tackles seven times during his 10-year career, but it's unclear how successful he'll be after being out of the league for two years.

However, McClain relayed that internal discussions decided that Thomas wasn't a good fit with the organization. The veteran safety was cut by the Ravens before Week 1 after getting into an altercation with fellow safety Chuck Clark, and he'll remain a free agent for the time being.

Earl Thomas: Could join Texans
Earl Thomas arrived in Houston on Monday for a workout, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle repotrs.The Texans placed A.J. Moore (hamstring) on the injured list Monday, so it looks like there's legitimate interest in Thomas, who was released by the Ravens in August. One league source said there's a "strong chance" the Texans sign him if the audition and meetings with team officials go well. The Ravens cited personal conduct issues for releasing him, so the Texans will do their due diligence.

Ravens' Earl Thomas III: Sent home by team
Earl Thomas was sent home from practice Friday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.Hensley also noted this is the second time in Thomas' tenure with the Baltimore Ravens that the passionate safety got into a war of words with a teammate, perhaps alluding to some sort of rift between team and player. Mike Garafolo of NFL Network is reporting the Ravens are even considering releasing or trading Thomas after Friday's latest incident, although that type of over-reactionary language hasn't seeped into the discourse among Ravens beat writers. It's worth noting, Chuck Clark, the safety which Thomas reportedly got into an exchange of words with, is practicing Saturday so there's perhaps something amiss with this admittedly odd situation.
