Mike Thomas - Page 2 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Questionable for Sunday Thomas (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Lions.

Impact Thomas was upgraded to a full participant Friday after logging limited practices the previous two days. The 27-year-old was unavailable against the Packers in Week 5, but he appears to be progressing toward suiting up in Week 6.

Listed as limited participant Thomas (ankle) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

Impact Thomas sat out Sunday's loss to the Packers due to the ankle issue, but he's back at practice to start this week. The 27-year-old should be able to avoid an injury designation for Week 6 if he can progress to full practice participation Thursday or Friday.

Won't play, as expected Thomas (ankle) is inactive Week 5 against the Packers, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Impact Thomas entered the week with a "doubtful" tag after missing practice entirely Friday. With few contributions on offense this season, coupled with the return of Tee Higgins (shoulder), Thomas likely wouldn't have been much of a fantasy factor anyway.

Listed as doubtful for Week 5 Thomas (ankle) is listed as doubtful on the Bengals' injury report, but he is not expected to play Sunday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Impact Barring a major change of events, Thomas will not be active for Sunday's contest against the Packers. Dehner reports that he will be shut down, but the Bengals have yet to make his game status official. The 27-year-old wideout has caught three passes for 24 yards this season.

Ruled out for Week 5 Thomas (ankle) won't play Sunday against the Packers, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Thomas has just three catches for 24 yards this season, so his absence is unlikely to have much of an impact on Cincinnati's game plan offensively. The 27-year-old wide receiver will look to get back on the field in Week 6 against the Lions.

Managing ankle issue Thomas was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

Impact Thomas apparently picked up the injury during Thursday's win over the Jaguars, when he caught his lone target for zero yards. The fact the 27-year-old is opening the week as a limited participant indicates the injury isn't a serious concern.

OCTOBER 6, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

One catch in Week 4 Thomas had one catch for zero yards on his only target in the Week 4 win over the Jaguars.

Impact Thomas moved one step up in the pecking order with Tee Higgins once again out and had 17 offensive snaps, but he served more as a decoy and downfield blocker.

OCTOBER 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Catches one pass in win Thomas caught his only target for 19 yards in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Steelers.

Impact Thomas played on just 10 offensive snaps in the contest, amounting to a 21 percent share. Even with fellow wideout Tee Higgins sidelined with a shoulder injury, the 27-year-old was not a big part of the Bengals' game plan. Through three weeks, Thomas has totaled 24 yards on just two catches. Thomas remains well off the fantasy radar entering a Week 4 tilt against the Jaguars.

SEPTEMBER 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Rejoins Bengals Cincinnati re-signed Thomas on Thursday, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

Impact Thomas was released by Cincinnati on Wednesday while the team cut down to the initial 53-man roster, and in the aftermath, he's been able to secure a spot in the wide receiver room once again. As the No. 6 option in the Bengals' receiver corps, Thomas isn't a realistic candidate to attain fantasy relevance this season.

Re-signs with Bengals The Bengals re-signed Thomas to a one-year deal Thursday, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports

Impact Thomas appeared in 14 games with the team during the 2020 campaign, during which he caught 13 of his 21 targets for 132 yards and one touchdown. Though the 26-year-old saw an increase in offensive playing time this past season, it will likely take a few injuries before the receiver makes his way up the depth chart.

MARCH 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ending with a fizzle Thomas finished the season with 13 catches for 132 yards and a touchdown, but didn't have a catch after Week 7.

Impact After generating some positive buzz during training camp in the early season, Thomas fell out of favor in the Bengals' pecking order, punctuated by a couple of drops and key penalties. He's not guaranteed to return in 2021.

No targets Sunday Thomas wasn't targeted during Sunday's 19-7 loss to Miami.

Impact The 26-year-old suited up after being listed questionable with a hamstring injury, and he ended up playing 22 snaps between offense and special teams. Thomas is without a catch since Week 7 and is unlikely to have much fantasy relevance given his place on the depth chart, especially with Joe Burrow (knee) out for the season.

Ready to face Dolphins Thomas (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against Miami, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Thomas suited up for the Bengals' first nine contests of 2020, but a lingering hamstring issue has held him out the past two weeks. The 26-year-old was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday before upgrading to full participation Friday. Having been cleared for Week 13, he will serve as Cincinnati's No. 4 WR option against a Dolphins defense that's surrendered the eighth-most receiving yards to the position this season (2,027).

Inactive vs. Giants Thomas (hamstring) is inactive Week 12 against the Giants, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

Impact The stage was set here after Thomas missed Friday's practice and entered the week with a "doubtful" tag. He'll now set his sights on a Week 13 return for a matchup against Miami, though even if he makes it back on the field, it will likely be in a depth role.

NOVEMBER 29, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to play Sunday Thomas (hamstring) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Impact After logging a limited practice Thursday, Thomas took a step back by sitting out of Friday's session, thus making him unlikely to play Sunday. With John Ross (foot) on IR and Auden Tate on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Alex Erickson figures to slot in as the No. 4 wide receiver behind starters Tyler Boyd, Tee Higgins and A.J. Green.
