Big catch, big punt return Thomas caught four passes for 90 yards versus NMSU on Saturday.
Will play for UTEP Thomas (undisclosed) will play against New Mexico State on Saturday, UTEP writer Zay Galindo reports.
Impact Thomas was spotted warming up and has been a full go in recent practices, so this comes as little surprise. The wideout, who has 42 receptions for 422 yards and two touchdowns this season, should resume his role as one of the top pass-catchers on this offense after missing three games.

Spotted warming up Thomas (undisclosed) has been spotted warming up ahead of UTEP's game against New Mexico State, Adrian Broaddus of 600 ESPN El Paso reports.
Impact Thomas was considered probable, as he was a full go in recent practices. The wideout appears ready to go for the Miners against the Aggies. Thomas has 42 grabs for 422 yards and two scores this fall.

Full go in recent practice Thomas (undisclosed) is full go in practice, Bret Bloomquist of the El Paso Times reports.
Impact Considering that Thomas' injury status was doubtful the last time it was updated, his latest update is incredibly promising. Ideally for him, Saturday at New Mexico State is an opportunity he takes advantage of to finish his 2024 regular season strong.
NOVEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE
Doubtful for Kennesaw game Thomas (undisclosed) is doubtful for UTEP's game Saturday against Kennesaw State, Adrian Broaddus of 600 ESPN El Paso reports.
Impact A non-football-related injury is affecting Thomas' availability. Defeating fellow struggling team Kennesaw State will be a lot difficult for UTEP now that one of the team's primary wideouts is expected to sit out, potentially indefinitely.
NOVEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE
Out for MTSU game Thomas was out for UTEP's 20-13 loss Saturday against Middle Tennessee State, Zay Galindo of 600 ESPN El Paso reports.
Impact An undisclosed problem prevented Thomas' availability Saturday. Without him available, three of UTEP's players (Ashton Nickelberry, Emari White and Jevon Jackson) updated their 2024 bests for targets. Currently, the Miners' next opponent is expected to be Kennesaw State. The two teams are scheduled for a game on Nov. 9.
NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
Finds end zone Thomas caught five passes for 67 yards and a touchdown versus La Tech on Tuesday.
Impact This is Thomas' first touchdown since UTEP's opener, but this fact is paired with a concerning one. Skyler Locklear, the quarterback who threw that touchdown, left this game with an injury. JP Pickles stepped in under center, only attempted two passes, and ran the ball 12 times.
OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE
Involved in run game Thomas caught five passes for 31 yards and had six carries for 26 yards versus Sam Houston on Thursday.
Impact Thomas is clearly a guy who UTEP's coaches want touching the ball. He's got 31 catches already, and now he has eight carries as well. Thomas also returns kicks and punts. Opportunity is always a big part of success, but fantasy-minded folks will want to see more production.
OCTOBER 4 • ROTOWIRE
Another six catches Thomas caught six passes for 46 yards versus Colorado State on Saturday.
Impact Thomas is the style of receiver that is valuable to his team, but brings less to the fantasy space. He has 26 catches through four games, which is quite good, but he's a release-valve receiver, not a big-play threat. Thomas has turned those 26 catches into 284 yards, and he has only found the end zone once.
SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE
Another eight catches Thomas caught eight passes for 68 yards versus Liberty on Saturday.
Impact Skyler Locklear is in his first year as a starting quarterback and he clearly has a plan: Throw the ball to Thomas as much as possible. The Austin Peay transfer already has 20 catches through only three games. Don't worry about the 8.5 yards per reception here. Thomas returns punts and kicks, and they don't let you do that if you aren't a dynamic athlete.
SEPTEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE
Tallies 99 yards receiving Thomas caught five passes for 99 yards versus Southern Utah on Saturday.
Impact So far, Thomas has been the player brought along from Austin Peay who has taken to the FBS the best. Yes, Southern Utah is an FCS opponent, but Thomas has 12 catches for 170 yards and a touchdown and is also a kick and punt returner.
SEPTEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE
Has good day in FBS debut Thomas caught seven passes for 71 yards and a touchdown Saturday versus Nebraska.
Impact Of all the guys who followed Scotty Walden from Austin Peay to UTEP, Thomas had the easiest transition to the FBS level in Week 1. These are good numbers, especially for a game in Lincoln against a Matt Rhule defense. Now, Thomas is only 5'7'', so he's undersized, but he seems like he can handle a slot role in Conference USA.
