Zavion Thomas - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Catches one pass Sunday Thomas hauled in one of his two targets for 13 yards and returned three kicks for 88 yards during Chicago's win versus Tampa Bay on Sunday.

Impact Thomas continues to see limited action offensively, playing just five snaps, though he did manage to record his seventh reception of the season. The rookie third-round pick should continue to see the majority of his action come on special teams, and he's now amassed 715 kick-return yards across nine outings this season.

Impact Making his preseason debut, the lightning-fast rookie third-round pick wasted no time showing off his elite speed, hauling in a Tyson Bagent pass at the Bears' 33-yard line and motoring down the right side of the field for a 97-yard touchdown. Thomas also was impressive on both of his returns, and he comfortably led Chicago in receiving yards on the night. Thomas' upside has been heralded since he was drafted, and Saturday's production offered a glimpse of what the excitement is about. Thomas projects to open the regular season in a potential No. 4 receiver role and as the likely primary returner, and his game-breaking skills could afford him a progressively bigger role as his rookie campaign unfolds.

Back in action Thomas (knee) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Thomas had been dealing with some knee soreness. The wide receiver is back in action after just about a week of absence. Thomas is competing to be a first-team option at wide receiver, with Kalif Raymond and Jahdae Walker as the primary competition. The 22-year-old's prompt return to the field means he can continue to display his special teams and offensive versatility throughout the preseason. The rookie third-rounder's next opportunity to prove himself should come in Saturday's preseason showdown with the Bengals.

Avoids major injury Thomas (knee) is not expected to miss much time due to soreness, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Thomas left Sunday's practice early with a knee injury, but is likely day-to-day as he recovers from the issue. The wide receiver has been thrust into a more relevant role for at least the preseason after Luther Burden (groin) left Saturday's practice with a significant injury. The faster Thomas can return to the field, the more time he has to convince the coaching staff he deserves an increase in regular-season reps and targets alongside his kick return duties.

Exits practice early Thomas (undisclosed) exited Sunday's practice early after a 7-on-7 collision, Sean Hammond of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact While it has not been disclosed what type of injury Thomas suffered, Adam Hoge of AllCHGO.com reports that the wide receiver briefly grabbed his knee before limping off the field. The rookie third-rounder was set to start the regular season as the primary kick returner for the Bears, so any long-term knee issue would be very bad for the team's versatility. If Thomas must miss time, Jahdae Walker could see an increase in usage, continuing the momentum he built near the end of his rookie season.
