LOGAN THOMAS NEWS

Let go by San Fran Thomas was released by the 49ers on Tuesday.

Impact Thomas originally joined the 49ers in June after spending the past four season with the Commanders. The 33-year-old was then released Aug. 9 before re-signing with the team Thursday, but he did not make it through San Francisco's final cuts down to the 53-man roster. Thomas could be a candidate to come back on the practice squad, otherwise he'll look for an opportunity elsewhere ahead of the regular season. Meanwhile, Jake Tonges should serve as the 49ers' top backup behind George Kittle.

AUGUST 23 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Back with San Francisco The 49ers re-signed Thomas on Thursday.

Impact The 49ers cut Thomas earlier this month, but he's back with the team to provide depth behind top tight end George Kittle. In that context, Thomas' initial fantasy upside is limited, but the 33-year-old did catch 55 passes with the Commanders last season and could provide streaming value in the event that Kittle misses time.

Surprise cut by San Francisco The 49ers released Thomas (hamstring) on Friday.

Impact Thomas inked a one-year deal with San Francisco back in June and appeared set to provide the team with valuable veteran depth behind top tight end George Kittle, so it's somewhat surprising to see him be released two weeks into training camp. A hamstring injury had kept Thomas out of practice for roughly the last week, but unless he's reached an injury settlement, his release indicates a clean bill of health. Thomas will now look for an opportunity elsewhere in the league, likely as a backup or rotational option for another team.

AUGUST 9 • ROTOWIRE

Hamstring injury halts practicing 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan announced Friday that Thomas is currently missing practice with a hamstring injury, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

Impact Thomas was signed to San Francisco back in early June after playing out the last four seasons with Washington. The severity of the tight end's hamstring problem has not been disclosed but more information should be released in the coming weeks if not days.

Commanders release starting TE Logan Thomas, LT Charles Leno

The Commanders have released veteran starters Logan Thomas and Charles Leno, saving nearly $13 million in salary cap space.

MARCH 1

Finds end zone against Jets Thomas caught five of six targets for 36 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-28 loss to the Jets.

Impact The tight end caught the only TD pass of the day for a Washington quarterback, connecting with Jacoby Brissett on a 15-yard strike late in the third quarter after Sam Howell had been benched once again. It was Thomas' fourth touchdown of the season but his first since late October, and he could be a more appealing fantasy option in Week 17 against the 49ers of Commanders coach Ron Rivera makes the call to give the start to Brissett.

Held to one catch Thomas caught one of three targets for seven yards in a 28-20 loss to the Rams on Sunday.

Impact After averaging 4.3 catches for 40.9 yards and 0.3 TDs in his first 10 appearances this year, Thomas has just three catches for 22 yards on eight targets over his past three games. Next up is a Week 16 matchup with the Jets.

DECEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Held catchless Thomas finished without a catch on one target in a 45-15 loss to Miami on Sunday.

Impact Thomas enters a Week 14 bye having just posted two of his three worst fantasy performance of the season in back-to-back weeks. It hasn't cost him snaps/routes, but there is some chance the Commanders give Cole Turner some of those reps now that a playoff appearance is out of the question and plans for 2024 become a consideration. That said, Thomas is still clear favorite to lead the team's TEs in snaps/routes/targets when the Commanders return from their bye for a Week 15 road game at the Rams.

Hauls in four passes Thomas caught four of six targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win at New England.

Impact It was Thomas' third straight game with at least six targets and four catches, following a one-target outing Week 6 at Atlanta. His overall averages of 4.1 catches for 38.9 yards per game at least keep him on the map as a streaming option of bye-week replacement ahead of a Week 10 contest in Seattle.

Tending to heel issue Thomas was limited in practice Wednesday due to a heel injury.

Impact Thomas sat out Week 3 with a concussion, but he's otherwise been available to the Commanders offense this season, posting at least 40 receiving yards five times and scoring three touchdowns in his seven appearances. His overall stat line sits at 29-280-3 on 40 targets near the midpoint of the campaign, but it's unclear if he'll be able to add to it Sunday in New England. The team's last two Week 9 practice reports will be telling for Thomas' upcoming availability.

Productive day in Week 8 loss Thomas brought in six of eight targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in the Commanders' 38-31 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

Impact The veteran tight end had been somewhat quiet since his season-best 9-77-1 line in Week 5 against the Bears, but he was an important part of a career-best passing day for Sam Howell on Sunday. Thomas also found the end zone for the third time this season and for the first time since that game against Chicago when he hauled in a seven-yard touchdown pass from Howell early in the fourth quarter. Thomas will next take aim at the Patriots' spotty pass defense in a Week 9 road matchup.

Four grabs in Sunday's loss Thomas caught four of six targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 14-7 loss to the Giants.

Impact The tight end produced his second-highest yardage total of the season on a day when Sam Howell was once again facing near-constant pressure. Thomas has been able to stay mostly healthy so far in 2023, missing only one game, and as a result he's on pace for his best season since his breakout 2020 campaign.

OCTOBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Targeted once Thomas caught his lone target for a two-yard gain in Sunday's 24-16 win over Atlanta.

Impact Thomas saw at least three targets in each of his previous four games this year, including 11 the week before in a loss to Chicago. He should see multiple targets Week 7 against the Giants but isn't an especially trustworthy fantasy option even after a solid start to the season.
