Makes quick recovery from ACL tear Thomas (knee) participated in spring practices and appears ready for the start of training camp, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports. Impact The third overall pick from the 2017 Draft had a disappointing end to his tenure with the 49ers, tearing the ACL, lateral meniscus and medial patellofemoral ligament in his left knee in Week 2 last season. Thomas then signed a one-year, $3.25 million contract with the Raiders in March, and an aggressive rehab program got him back on the practice field just seven months after the initial injury. He won't necessarily be a starter in Las Vegas, but he'll at least have the opportunity to earn snaps off the bench at both defensive end and defensive tackle.
