Listed as questionable Thomas (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's ACC Championship game against Duke.

Impact Thomas missed the final three games to end the regular season but seems to have a chance to suit up for the championship game. Even when active earlier in the year, Thomas totaled just three catches for nine yards in nine games and likely won't even see the field if active.

Likely out again Thomas (ankle) likely won't play in Saturday's game against Virginia Tech.

Impact Thomas is on track to miss a third straight game due to an ankle injury. The senior pass-catcher hasn't caught more than one pass in a game this season, so his absence wouldn't have much of an impact on the UVA offense.

Out for Week 12 Thomas (ankle) is out for Saturday's game at Duke, Greg Madia of The Daily Progress reports.

Impact Thomas will sit out Virginia's last away game of the 2025 regular season. Between the UVA-Duke matchup and UVA's season finale is a bye that may be enough time for him to recover. As a result, Virginia's head coach Tony Elliott said he is hopeful that Thomas will be available for Week 14, which includes the Cavaliers against Virginia Tech on Nov. 29.

Enters transfer portal Thomas has entered the transfer portal, Pete Nakos of On3 reports.

Impact Thomas redshirting his 2021 season allows him one last year of collegiate eligibility that he can use in 2025 or beyond. In every year except 2021, he logged triple-digit yards and multiple touchdowns.

Stands out during team practice Thomas (undisclosed) stood out during Notre Dame's team practice Wednesday, Jack Soble of On3 reports.

Impact Thomas standing out during Notre Dame's latest practice indicates he is healthy again. While his statistical output took a slight downturn in 2023 compared to 2022, the dip was not by much. Thomas finished his 2023 season with 21 receptions for 310 yards and one touchdown, just 52 yards and one TD less compared to 2022. 2023 proved Thomas to be a reliable source for receiver output, just as long as the wideout is healthy, which he is now.

Limited in return Thomas was unable to record a catch during Saturday's 45-7 victory over Wake Forest.

Impact Thomas missed the previous two games before making a return to the field, logging his second-lowest snap count of the season (10). The 6-foot-1 wide receiver did not record a target during this game and will look for a stronger performance with another week removed from injury. He has totaled 17 receptions for 251 yards and one score this season.

Should be good to go Thomas (hamstring) should be available during Notre Dame's game Saturday against Wake Forest, Mike Berardino of the South Bend Tribune reports.

Impact It seems Notre Dame's bye week happening in Week 11 fit perfectly for Thomas, who was recovering from a hamstring injury he re-aggravated a few weeks ago. The wideout has 17 receptions for 251 yards and one touchdown across his seven games in 2023.

NOVEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with hamstring injury Head coach Marcus Freeman indicated Monday that Thomas re-aggravated his hamstring, Mike Berardino of USA Today reports.

Impact Freeman also mentioned that Thomas re-aggravated the hamstring injury a few weeks ago. The sophomore wide receiver missed last week's game for Notre Dame but still has a chance to suit up for Saturday's encounter with Wake Forest.

NOVEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Limited to six snaps Thomas (undisclosed) participated in six snaps during Notre Dame's game Saturday against USC.

Impact Thomas' snap count against USC is quite surprising, considering he logged more than six times as much during each of his other games played in 2023. Ideally for Notre Dame, he uses the team's bye week to rest and prepare a lot more, re-establishing himself as a top receiver in the process by the time Pittsburgh visits.
