Raiders' Solomon Thomas: Makes quick recovery from ACL tear
Solomon Thomas (knee) participated in spring practices and appears ready for the start of training camp, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.The third overall pick from the 2017 Draft had a disappointing end to his tenure with the 49ers, tearing the ACL, lateral meniscus and medial patellofemoral ligament in his left knee in Week 2 last season. Thomas then signed a one-year, $3.25 million contract with the Las Vegas Raiders in March, and an aggressive rehab program got him back on the practice field just seven months after the initial injury. He won't necessarily be a starter in Las Vegas, but he'll at least have the opportunity to earn snaps off the bench at both defensive end and defensive tackle.

Raiders' Solomon Thomas: Signs in Las Vegas
Solomon Thomas (knee) signed a one-year, $5 million contract with the Las Vegas Raiders on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.Thomas is still rehabbing from the torn ACL he suffered Week 2 of last season, but he's expected to be ready for training camp. The No. 3 overall pick in the 2017 draft posted career highs in tackles (41) and sacks (three) during his rookie season, but his playing time and productivity steadily dropped off over the next three seasons before he sustained the knee injury. Thomas will get a chance to restart his career in Las Vegas, with the Raiders bringing him at a salary level more commensurate with his potential than his production to date. He'll battle fellow defensive tackles Maurice Hurst (calf) and Kendal Vickers for reps.
