Logan Thomas - Page 3 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Tending to rib issue Thomas was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report due to a rib injury.

Impact Knee and calf issues have previously resulted in Thomas being listed on injury reports this season, and a new health concern is inhibiting him to kick off Week 11 prep. He'll have a pair of sessions to get back to full activity before the Commanders potentially tab him with a designation for Sunday's game in Houston.

Records two catches in Week 10 win Thomas hauled in two of his four targets for 12 yards in Monday's 32-21 win over the Eagles.

Impact Since missing three straight games from Weeks 5 through 7, Thomas has seen his snap share gradually climb over the Commanders' subsequent three contests. After logging 56 percent of the Commanders' snaps on offense in his return to the lineup Week 8 against the Colts, Thomas bumped up to 70 percent Week 9 versus the Vikings before climbing to 73 percent Monday. Now that his calf injury is further behind him, Thomas should continue to fend off John Bates for No. 1 tight-end duties, but the role hasn't been as fruitful in 2022 for the 31-year-old as it had been the previous two seasons. Through his seven appearances this season, Thomas is averaging just 3.9 targets per game, well down from the 6.1 he averaged in 22 outings between the 2020 and 2021 campaigns.

No catches despite large snap count Thomas finished with no catches on two targets in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Vikings, playing 72 percent of Washington's snaps on offense.

Impact It was his second game back from a three-week absence due to a calf injury, and Thomas made it two in a row without a reception despite playing more than half the available snaps in both contests. He averaged 3.3 catches for 26.5 yards on 5.0 targets over the first four weeks of the season, so there is some hope the 31-year-old tight end starts to see more looks Week 10 at Philadelphia or Week 11 at Houston.

Cleared for Sunday Thomas (calf) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Impact It remains to be seen if Thomas will take on more work after handling 56 percent of offensive snaps (but zero targets) last week in his first game back from a three-week absence due to a calf injury. He should see a few targets this time around, but the threat of losing snaps/routes to Armani Rogers, John Bates and/or Cole Turner still is present for Thomas.

NOVEMBER 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Stays limited at practice Thomas (calf) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Though Thomas didn't take a step forward from Wednesday in terms of practice activity, the fact that he was on the field for consecutive days bodes well for his chances of being able to play Sunday against the Vikings. In his return from a three-game absence in the Commanders' Week 8 win over the Colts, Thomas started and played 56 percent of Washington's offense snaps but went without a target.

NOVEMBER 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Limited in practice Thomas (calf) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Thomas returned for Sunday's win over Indianapolis after missing three games with a calf injury, and while he took 56 percent of Washington's snaps on offense, the veteran tight end finished without a target. He should see a looks this weekend against the Vikings, assuming he experiences no setbacks with the calf during practice. The every-down role he held in 2020 may be a thing of the past, however.

NOVEMBER 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Not targeted in return from injury Thomas played 56 percent of the offensive snaps but wasn't targeted in Sunday's 17-16 win over Indianapolis.

Impact In his first game back from a three-week absence due to a calf injury, Thomas shared snaps with Armani Rogers (36 percent) and John Bates (33 percent), a duo that combined for three targets. Thomas could see more work in Week 9 against Minnesota considering he handled at least 62 percent of snaps and three or more targets in each of Washington's first four games this season.

OCTOBER 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Active in Week 8 Thomas (calf) is active for Sunday's Week 8 game against the Colts, Nicki Jhabvala of the Washington Post reports.

Impact The veteran tight end was trending in the right direction heading into the weekend, and his active status is now confirmed. Thomas could draw even more targets than usual against Indianapolis, considering the Commanders' air attack will be down both Dyami Brown (groin) and Jahan Dotson (hamstring).

OCTOBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

On track to play Sunday Thomas, who is listed as questionable due to a calf injury, is expected to play Sunday against the Colts, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Thomas has missed three straight games due to a calf injury, but after logging three consecutive limited practices during Week 8 prep, the tight end is in line to make his first appearance since Week 4. Before the injury, Thomas, caught 13 of 20 targets for 106 yards and one touchdown. While the tight end is expected to play, it's possible he winds up limited in his first game action in a month, so fantasy managers are still encouraged to confirm his availability ahead of Sunday's 4:25 PM ET kickoff.

OCTOBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to return for Week 8 Thomas (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Thomas is at least headed in the right direction after not playing or practicing the previous three weeks. This is the first time since injuring his calf that he's been listed as anything other than 'out' on the final injury report, potentially setting up a game-time decision ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday. With fellow tight end Cole Turner (concussion) already ruled out, the Commanders will be left with John Bates and Armani Rogers if Thomas can't play.

OCTOBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Maintains limited activity Thomas (calf) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact After not practicing or playing each of the past three weeks, Thomas looks like he'll have a chance at returning to action Sunday in Indianapolis now that he's practiced on consecutive days, albeit in a limited capacity. He'll almost certainly need to graduate to full activity Friday to enter the weekend without a designation, but even another limited showing could put him in good position to play against the Colts. Over Washington's first four games of the season, Thomas registered 13 receptions for 106 yards and a touchdown on 20 targets.

OCTOBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to limited practice Thomas (calf) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact It's a step forward after three missed games and three weeks of no practice. The Commanders have used John Bates, Cole Turner (concussion) and Armani Rogers at tight end in Thomas' absence, with all besides Rogers having injury issues of their own in recent weeks.

OCTOBER 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out for a third straight game Thomas (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Green Bay, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Thomas will miss a third straight game, while backup John Bates (hamstring) is listed as questionable and could be a game-time decision ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If Bates doesn't play, the Commanders likely will have Cole Turner as their primary tight end, though Armani Rogers and FB Alex Armah also could take on some of the workload. Turner played 93 percent of snaps last Thursday with both Thomas and Bates out, catching two of two targets for 23 yards in a 12-7 win over Chicago.

Logs DNP on Thursday Thomas (calf) was a non-participant at practice Thursday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact For a second day in a row, Thomas was spotted on the side getting in some work, but he again went down as a DNP. He may need to log a limited session before week's end to put himself on a path to ending a two-game absence as he tends to a calf issue. Friday's injury report ultimately may paint a clearer picture for Thomas' availability (or lack thereof) for Sunday's game against the Packers. Fellow tight end John Bates (hamstring) also hasn't practiced this week, leaving Cole Turner and Armani Rogers as the only healthy options at the position on the team's active roster.

OCTOBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Officially DNP on Wednesday Thomas (calf) didn't take part in Wednesday's practice.

Impact In the midst of missing two games due to a calf issue, Thomas hasn't practiced since last Monday, Oct. 10. He told John Keim of ESPN.com on Wednesday that his calf is feeling "better every day," but the tight end is unsure if he'll be able to play Sunday against the Packers. According to Pete Hailey of NBC Sports Washington, Thomas logged some work on a side field, though, so he may be gearing up for some drills Thursday and/or Friday. Those sessions likely will determine whether or not Thomas puts himself in a position to be active this weekend.

OCTOBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Limited to side work Thomas (calf) is working out on a side field rather than practicing with the main group Wednesday, Pete Hailey of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Impact The activity is perhaps a sign of progress after two missed games, but Thomas' continued absence from practice leaves him uncertain for a matchup with the Packers on Sunday. The Commanders put rookie Cole Turner in a three-down role at tight end last Thursday against the Bears after No. 2 option John Bates hurt his hamstring in pregame warmups. Injury reports over the next few days should provide clarity on Week 7 expectations for Washington's tight-end snaps and targets.

Won't play Thursday Thomas (calf) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Bears.

Impact Thomas will miss a second straight game after failing to practice Tuesday or Wednesday. John Bates and Cole Turner split tight end snaps in the Week 5 loss to Tennessee, and if the timeshare arrangement continues Thursday, it'll be hard to count on either for more than 2-to-3 targets in Thomas 'absence.

OCTOBER 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Downgrades to no activity Tuesday Thomas (calf) was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's injury report, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The Commanders only went through a light practice or walkthrough, but Thomas experienced a theoretical downgrade in activity level after being listed as limited on Monday's estimated injury report. He thus doesn't seem to be trending in a positive direction ahead of Thursday's contest at Chicago, but he at least has one more chance to mix into drills Wednesday before the team may provide some clarity into his ability (or inability) to play this week.

OCTOBER 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Limited on practice estimate Thomas (calf) was listed as limited on Monday's practice estimate, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Impact The Commanders just played Sunday, so the team held a light walkthrough Monday. What Thomas -- who was inactive Week 5 -- is able to do during Tuesday's practice should provide added context with regard to his chances of returning to action Thursday night against the Bears.

OCTOBER 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Not suiting up Thomas (calf) is inactive Week 5 against the Titans.

Impact News from pregame warmups had heavily implied that Thomas was in line to sit after sustaining a calf injury during practice late in the week. Those reports were officially confirmed with the release of the inactives, leaving John Bates to fill in as the primary tight end for Washington, with special-teamer Armani Rogers on hand in a backup capacity. Thomas and the Commanders have a short week ahead, as the team will head to Soldier Field on Thursday night to take on the Bears.

OCTOBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Not slated to play Sunday Thomas (calf) is not in line to play Sunday against the Titans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Thomas' status will be officially confirmed upon the posting of the Commanders' inactives ahead of Sunday's 1:00 ET kickoff, but in his anticipated absence, added tight end snaps are available for John Bates, Armani Rogers and Cole Turner.

OCTOBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

True game-time decision for Week 5 Thomas (calf), who is listed as questionable, is considered a true game-time decision for Sunday's contest against the Titans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Thomas' status will come down to how he feels in pregame warmups, so the final word on his availability will be made roughly 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. If Thomas is unavailable, John Bates will step into the top role at tight end, with Armani Rogers also available for pass-catching reps.

OCTOBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Added to injury report Thomas was added to the injury report Friday with a calf injury and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Tennessee, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The timing is suboptimal with Washington set to play two games in a span of five days, facing the Bears on Thursday Night Football after Sunday's tilt with the Titans. Thomas is expected to be a game-time decision ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday, with John Bates next up for snaps and targets at tight end, though the Commanders also might give Armani Rogers a look in obvious passing situations. Thomas is fifth on the team with 20 targets this year, averaging 3.3 catches for 26.5 yards per game with one TD in four contests.
