Uneventful return from injury Thomas failed to catch any of his three targets in Sunday's 38-20 loss to the Falcons. Impact Sunday's loss marked Thomas' first appearance this season, as the veteran tight end returned from a calf injury. However, Thomas appeared to be an afterthought in the Panthers' offensive game plan, seeing just two targets and playing behind rookie Ja'Tavion Sanders (five catches for 49 yards). With Tommy Tremble (concussion) potentially returning from injury as soon as next week, Thomas could see even less work and serve as the Panthers' No. 3 tight end in Week 7.
