Placed on IR Washington placed Thomas (hamstring) on injured reserve Wednesday. Impact He's ineligible for the next three games, with Week 8 at Denver being the earliest possible date a for a return. Thomas injured his hamstring in the opening minutes of Sunday's 34-30 win over the Falcons, with his absence thereafter allowing backup Ricky Seals-Jones to play a career-high 62 snaps (93 percent share). Seals-Jones caught only two passes for 29 yards on four targets, and it's possible moving forward that he loses some playing time to youngsters John Bates and Sammis Reyes, or recent signee Jace Sternberger. Still, Seals-Jones is a clear favorite for Washington's tight-end targets with Thomas sidelined through midseason.
