The Florida International product's most recent in-game action came with the Panthers in 2022, when he appeared in three games and recorded three total tackles on 46 special-teams snaps.

Heads to IR Carolina placed Thomas-Oliver (thigh) on injured reserve Saturday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Thomas-Oliver was previously ruled out for Week 6, marking his third straight absence due to a thigh injury.

The 2020 seventh-round pick has played exclusively on special teams this year, so his extended absence shouldn't impact Carolina's defense.

Questionable for Week 4 Thomas-Oliver (Achilles) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact Thomas-Oliver played through an Achilles injury during last week's game against the Saints but was limited in each of Carolina's three practice sessions this week. Even if he's available for Week 4, he's unlikely to play a significant role in the Panthers' secondary.

Available Sunday Thomas-Oliver (Achilles) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Thomas-Oliver didn't practice Friday after being limited Thursday, but he'll still be available for Week 3. The 2020 seventh-round pick has played exclusively on special teams through the first two weeks of the season and figures to garner a similar role against New Orleans.

Doesn't practice Friday Thomas-Oliver (Achilles) did not practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Week 3 versus New Orleans.

Impact Thomas-Oliver logged a limited practice Thursday, but he now appears to be trending in the wrong direction ahead of Carolina's date with the Saints on Sunday. Donte Jackson (hamstring), in contrast, practiced in full Friday, so he and Jaycee Horn will likely be the Panthers' top corners in Week 3.

Impact Thomas-Oliver returned to practice Wednesday and will be available for Sunday's game against the Bills. The backup cornerback - who has registered nine defensive snaps this season - has missed the Panthers' last six games while sitting out with a toe injury and should reprise his role as a key contributor on special teams (149 snaps over eight games) now that he is healthy.

DECEMBER 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to practice field The Panthers have designated Thomas-Oliver (toe) for return from IR, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Thomas-Oliver participated in Wednesday's practice, so it appears that he's made significant progress in his recovery from a toe injury.

Sent to injured reserve Thomas-Oliver (toe) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Ruled out for Week 9 Thomas-Oliver (toe) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Patriots, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official website reports.

Impact Thomas-Oliver didn't practice Thursday or Friday, so it's not a surprise to see him inactive for Sunday's contest. The 2020 seventh-round pick has registered only nine defensive snaps all season, so his absence shouldn't affect the Panthers' defensive rotations.

NOVEMBER 7, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Sunday Thomas-Oliver (toe) is listed as questionable for the Panthers' Week 9 contest against the Patriots.

Impact Thomas-Oliver was a limited participant in practice Wednesday but was then unable to practice in any capacity Thursday or Friday. The fact that the cornerback went from a limited participant to a non-participant in practice is not a good sign. The 2020 seventh-round pick could still end up as a healthy scratch even if he is able to suit up.

NOVEMBER 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Back to full health Thomas-Oliver (hamstring) is not listed on Wednesday's injury report, Alaina Getzenberg of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Impact Thomas-Oliver missed Sunday's loss to the Raiders due to a hamstring injury, but it looks as though he's already managed a full recovery. Of course, even if he's available, the rookie seventh-round pick could end up a healthy scratch versus Tampa Bay in Week 2.

Ruled out for Week 1 Thomas-Oliver (hamstring) is inactive for the team's Week 1 contest against the Raiders, Myles Simmons of the Panthers' official site reports.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable versus Raiders Thomas-Oliver (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Impact The rookie seventh-round pick isn't expected to handle more than a reserve role even if he's able to suit up Week 1, so the Panthers could simply opt to take a cautious approach to his recovery. As a converted wide receiver, Thomas-Oliver could realistically need more time to develop before he's able to handle consistent defensive snaps.
