Raiders' Ian Thomas: Lands in Las Vegas
The Raiders signed Thomas (calf) to a contract Tuesday.
Thomas spent the first seven seasons of his NFL career in Carolina, and he now bolsters a Raiders tight end corps led by 2024 rookie phenom Brock Bowers and trade candidate Michael Mayer. Thomas is capable of contributing in a depth role as both a blocker and pass catcher, so his presence could make it easier for the team to move on from Mayer. He appeared in five games (two starts) with the Panthers in 2024 before landing on IR with a calf injury, but Thomas figures to be ready to go for the start of offseason activities.

Panthers' Ian Thomas: Goes to IR
Carolina placed Thomas (calf) on its injured reserve list Monday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Thomas was forced out of Carolina's last game before its bye early by a calf injury, and now he'll have to sit out for at least the next four contests as he recovers. In the meantime, Feleipe Franks could see an uptick in offensive snaps.

Panthers' Ian Thomas: Dealing with calf issue
Thomas is questionable to return to Sunday's Week 10 game against the Giants due to a calf injury, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Thomas was hurt in the first half and was subsequently deemed questionable to return. If he's unable to get back into the game, it would further thin a Panthers tight-end corps that is already without Tommy Tremble (back).

Panthers' Ian Thomas: Serving as No. 2 TE
Thomas caught both of his targets for four yards in Sunday's 40-7 loss to the Commanders.
Thomas was out-produced by Ja'Tavion Sanders (six catches for 61 yards) for the second consecutive week since returning from injury, suggesting that Sanders has already taken over the Panthers' No. 1 tight end role. With Tommy Tremble (back) returning from injury as soon as next week, Thomas could be further relegated to Carolina's third-string tight end.

Panthers' Ian Thomas: Cleared to play
Thomas (hip) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Commanders, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Thomas didn't get much playing time the past two weeks with Tommy Tremble in concussion protocol, and it seems Tremble may soon get clearance after practicing without restrictions Thursday and Friday. Rookie Ja'Tavion Sanders is the most interesting Carolina tight end for fantasy purposes, and it remains to be seen what his workload looks like if Tremble and Thomas are simultaneously available for the first time this season.

Panthers' Ian Thomas: Added to injury report
Thomas (hip) was a limited practice participant Thursday.
Thomas was added to the injury report after not being listed Wednesday. He previously spent Weeks 1-5 on injured reserve with a calf strain, and he played just 34 percent of snaps on offense upon returning for a 38-20 loss to the Falcons this past Sunday. Rookie Ja'Tavion Sanders has been getting most of Carolina's TE snaps of late, but that could change with Tommy Tremble returning to full practice Thursday and seemingly on track to clear concussion protocol soon.

Panthers' Ian Thomas: Uneventful return from injury
Thomas failed to catch any of his three targets in Sunday's 38-20 loss to the Falcons.
Sunday's loss marked Thomas' first appearance this season, as the veteran tight end returned from a calf injury. However, Thomas appeared to be an afterthought in the Panthers' offensive game plan, seeing just two targets and playing behind rookie Ja'Tavion Sanders (five catches for 49 yards). With Tommy Tremble (concussion) potentially returning from injury as soon as next week, Thomas could see even less work and serve as the Panthers' No. 3 tight end in Week 7.

Panthers' Ian Thomas: Active against Falcons
Thomas (calf) is active for Sunday's Week 6 matchup against the Falcons, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Thomas' active status was foreshadowed by a combination of his activation from injured reserve Saturday and the ruling out of position mate Tommy Tremble due to a concussion. With Thomas now officially in uniform for the first time this season, the veteran tight end projects to split duties at the position with rookie Ja'Tavion Sanders versus Atlanta.
