Juanyeh Thomas - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Won't play again this season Thomas (migraine) won't return this season, head coach Brian Schottenheimer revealed Friday, Clarence Hill Jr. of alldlls.com reports.

Impact Thomas has been on the reserve/non-football illness list since Nov. 11. The 25-year-old safety will likely need to resolve his migraine issues prior to signing with any NFL team after he becomes an unrestricted free agent in the offseason.

Placed on reserve/NFI list The Cowboys placed Thomas (migraines) on the reserve/non-football illness list Tuesday, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Thomas has missed two of the past three games due to migraines, and he'll now miss at least the next four contests. Thomas had started each of the last three games in which he appeared, logging at least 91 percent of the defensive snaps in all of those, so it's a significant loss to the Dallas defense. The Cowboys don't have a single truly healthy safety on the roster, as all five are dealing with some sort of injury.

Cleared for Week 9 Thomas (migraine) is active for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact Thomas has missed each of the Cowboys' last two games with a migraine, but he'll be ready to return to face Arizona on Monday Night Football. He should serve as the starting free safety and be in a good position to post solid IDP stats.

Questionable to face Cards Thomas (migraine) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Cardinals, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Thomas has been dealing with a migraine for the last three weeks, and he's missed two games as a result. He turned in a full full practice Saturday, which is a positive sign for his return, though his status won't be official until shortly before Monday night's kickoff.

Still dealing with migraine Thomas (migraine) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Impact A migraine has prevented Thomas from playing in the Cowboys' last two games. He would likely have to log a full practice over the next two days to have a realistic chance of being cleared to play against the Cardinals on Monday. Markquese Bell would continue to enjoy an expanded role on defense for as long as Thomas is on the shelf.

Won't play Sunday Thomas (migraine) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 8 matchup against Denver.

Impact Thomas has been dealing with a migraine for over a week. He was initially deemed questionable for Week 8 on Friday's injury report but has since been downgraded to out and won't travel to Denver. Markquese Bell started and played 100 percent of the Cowboys' defensive snaps last week against Washington and figures to log a hefty workload again Sunday.

Questionable for Week 8 Thomas (migraine) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Impact Thomas was limited earlier in the week and then logged a DNP on Friday due to migraine issues. If Thomas is unable to play, Alijah Clark would likely draw the start since Donovan Wilson (elbow) has already been ruled out against Denver.

Limited by migraine Thomas (migraine) was limited in practice Wednesday, Clarence Hill Jr. of AllDLLS.com reports.

Impact Thomas was sidelined by the illness in Week 7 after being added to the injury report Thursday. It's positive that he was able to take the field in any capacity Wednesday, but his status for Sunday's matchup against the Broncos remains unclear.

OCTOBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Inactive for Week 7 Thomas (migraine) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Impact Thomas missed Friday's practice due to a migraine, and the issue is severe enough for him to miss his first game of the regular season. Markquese Bell will likely start at safety alongside Donovan Wilson in Thomas' absence.

OCTOBER 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to play after DNP Thomas (head) did not practice Friday and is listed questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Impact Thomas appeared on Thursday's injury report due to a migraine. His inability to practice Friday indicates that he is leaning toward the doubtful side of playing Sunday, though his official status may not be known until Dallas announces its list of inactive players about 90 minutes prior to the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Markquese Bell figures to be the top candidate to start at safety alongside Donovan Wilson if Thomas is not cleared to play.

OCTOBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Added to injury report Thomas (head) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Thomas popped up on the injury report at practice Thursday due to a migraine, and his status ahead of Week 7 will be worth monitoring. The safety will look to erase any concerns about his availability by logging a full practice Friday prior to Sunday's matchup with Washington.

Cleared to play Week 6 Thomas (ankle) was a full participant in Friday's practice and does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Panthers, Clarence Hill Jr. of AllDLLS.com report...

Impact Thomas opened the week with back-to-back limited practices while managing an ankle injury, but he's been given the green light to play against Carolina after logging a full practice Friday. He made the second start of his three-year NFL career in the Cowboys' Week 5 win over the Jets, when he played every defensive snap and recorded 10 tackles (five solo). Thomas figures to start at safety alongside Donovan Wilson for as long as Malik Hooker (toe) is on injured reserve.

Dealing with ankle injury Thomas was limited in Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Impact Thomas was one of 18 Cowboys players listed on Wednesday's injury report. He likely sustained the ankle injury during the Cowboys' Week 5 win over the Jets, when he logged 10 tackles (five solo) while playing every defensive snap. Thomas would avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's road clash against Carolina if he were to practice in full over the next two days.

OCTOBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Hits for double-digit tackles Thomas recorded 10 tackles (five solo) in Sunday's win over the Jets.

Impact The undrafted fourth-year safety took advantage of a starting assignment after Malik Hooker (toe) landed on IR, reaching double digits for the first time in his career. Thomas will look to stay productive in Week 6 against the Panthers.

Will start Week 5 Cowboys defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus confirmed Thursday that Thomas will start in place of injured Malik Hooker (toe) on Sunday against the Jets, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morn...

Impact Hooker hasn't yet officially been ruled out, but this essentially confirms he won't play after being injured last Sunday night against the Packers. Thomas played a season-high 51 defensive snaps in relief of Hooker in Week 4 and recorded three tackles (one solo) in the 40-40 tie.

Impact Thomas was working through a lower-body injury at training camp, but he was able to be active for the Cowboys' preseason opener. The 25-year-old will likely operate as the top backup at strong safety behind Donovan Wilson, while also having a role as an option at kick returner in 2025.
