This isn't a surprise, as Thomas' high-ankle sprain diagnosis is expected to be a multi-week affair - though the team decided against placing him on injured reserve. It's hard to imagine him getting enough practice reps in to play Sunday against the Green Bay Packers, but Thomas is certainly going to try. Keep a loose eye on his practice participation over the next couple days while also lining up other options to fire up in your lineups.
