Expected back Monday Thomas (hamstring) is expected to be activated from injured reserve ahead of Monday's game against the Seahawks, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Thomas has apparently looked good at practice since being designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, and he's expected to be back on the field for Week 12. The 30-year-old will have a limited snap count if he suits up, which could limit his fantasy appeal coming off the six-game absence. However, he'd still clearly be the team's best pass-catching option at tight end, especially with Ricky Seals-Jones (hip) listed as doubtful.

Could play Monday Thomas (hamstring) went through position drills Friday and appears to have a shot to play in Monday's game against Seattle, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Thomas may have done more than just position drills, but that's what reporters saw during the media-access portion of Friday's session. The tight end was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, opening a 21-day window where he can be either activated to the roster or sent back to IR for the rest of the season. Thomas doesn't appear in danger of the second outcome, and it even looks like he may return before No. 2 tight end Ricky Seals-Jones (hip). With both players out last week, rookie TE John Bates played all but one of Washington's offensive snaps in a 27-21 win over Carolina.

Gets green light for practice Washington designated Thomas (hamstring) for return from injured reserve Wednesday.

Impact Thomas appeared close to rejoining his healthy teammates for practice both of the past two weeks, but he was relegated to working out on a side field after Washington elected to delay opening up his 21-day evaluation window. The Football Team seemingly believes Thomas is now ready to take the next step forward in his recovery from a right hamstring injury, and if he fares well in his return to practice this week, he could be an option to play Monday against the Seahawks. Ricky Seals-Jones (hip) has served as the primary replacement at tight end while Thomas has missed the past six games, but while both were sidelined due to injuries in the Week 11 win over Carolina, rookie John Bates (three catches for 23 yards) played 98 percent of the offensive snaps in his first NFL start.

Expected to resume practicing Thomas (hamstring) is expected to be designated for a return from IR in Week 12, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Thomas hasn't yet been fully cleared, but his 21-day window to resume practicing is expected to open this week. The 30-year-old has been on IR since Oct. 6, though early November he was spotted doing some work on a side field. With Ricky Seals-Jones (leg) injured and having missed Week 11, it would certainly be a notable boon for Washington if Thomas is able to return in time to face the Seahawks on Nov. 29.

Not yet back on field Thomas (hamstring) doesn't appear to be practicing Wednesday, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

Impact Prior to Wednesday's practice, Washington announced that reserve cornerback Darryl Roberts (quadriceps) had been designated to return from injured reserve. However, there was no such announcement for Thomas, who has been on IR since Oct. 6 but was spotted last week doing some work on a side field. He still hasn't been cleared for practice, and with fellow tight end Ricky Seals-Jones (hip) now injured, Washington may be down to John Bates, Sammis Reyes and a practice-squad promotion as its options at tight end for Sunday's game in Carolina.

Works off to side Thursday Thomas (hamstring) was spotted working off to the side during Thursday's practice, but Washington has yet to designate him for return from injured reserve, Ben Standig of The Athle...

Impact Until Washington designates him for return, Thomas won't be eligible to formally join the Football Team for practice. Given that Thomas has been sidelined since Oct. 3 with the sore right hamstring, Washington will almost certainly want Thomas to get a full week of practice in before deeming him ready for game action. With that in mind, Thomas can likely be ruled out from coming off IR ahead of Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, though a return Week 11 against Carolina could still be realistic.

Still has sore hamstring Thomas' hamstring remained sore following Monday's workout, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Monday's test was intended to gauge the state of Thomas' health, and he doesn't seem to be ready just yet to come back to the active roster. He can't officially take part in practice until Washington designates him to return from injured reserve, so he was contained to activity on a side field Wednesday. Head coach Ron Rivera further relayed Thomas will continue to be monitored as the week goes on, and the tight end's status will be determined by Friday. If Thomas isn't able to suit up Sunday against the Buccaneers, Ricky Seals-Jones will handle the bulk of the tight-end reps, with rookie fourth-rounder John Bates mixing in behind him.

Limited to side work Thomas (hamstring) is working on a side field Wednesday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Impact The activity represents a sign of progress for Thomas following three missed games and a Week 9 bye, but he still hasn't returned to practice and thus remains uncertain to play in Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. A report last week suggested Thomas would be designated to return from injured reserve soon, which will open his 21-day window to begin practicing and potentially rejoin the active roster. Ricky Seals-Jones has been filling in at tight end in an every-down role throughout Thomas' absence.

Tests hamstring Monday Thomas tested his hamstring injury Monday, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

Impact Thomas' practice window is expected to open this week, and the team put him through a series of workouts Monday to test his hamstring. Assuming he feels good Tuesday, the 30-year-old will likely rejoin Washington for practice Wednesday. If he's designated to return from IR on Wednesday, he'll have a chance to suit up for Sunday's Week 10 matchup against Tampa Bay.

Practice window to open next week Washington is expected to open Thomas' (hamstring) 21-day window to return from injured reserve next week, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact Thomas hurt his right hamstring Week 4 in Atlanta and has missed the past four games as a result of the injury. Washington opted not to bring him back to the active roster prior to its Week 9 bye, but he seemingly will make his presence felt at practice again once the team reconvenes next week. Thomas' next chance to play arrives Sunday, Nov. 14 against the Buccaneers.

Spotted on side field Thomas (hamstring) is working on a side field during Monday's practice, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact It's a sign of progress, though it doesn't necessarily mean he's ready for a return to practice. Thomas has already met the three-game minimum on injured reserve, and while he's technically eligible to return for Sunday's game against Denver, coach Ron Rivera doesn't seem optimistic. Rivera used the term "week-to-week" as recently as Monday, hinting that Thomas is unlikely to return before the Week 9 bye. The team has deployed Ricky Seals-Jones in an every-down role at tight end in Thomas' absence.

OCTOBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Still considered week-to-week Coach Ron Rivera said Monday that Thomas (hamstring) is considered week-to-week, Rhiannon Walker of The Athletic reports.

Impact Thomas is eligible to return to game action as early as Sunday against Denver because he's spent the last three weeks on injured reserve. However, it doesn't sound as though the 30-year-old's return is imminent. A better idea of Thomas' status should come into focus based on his status in practice this week, but Ricky Seals-Jones should continue to handle an increased workload Sunday if the 2014 fourth-rounder is unable to suit up.
