Cowboys' Juanyeh Thomas: Slated for another absence
Rotowire
Thomas (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 15 contest against Carolina, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Thomas hurt his knee against the Giants in Week 13 and missed this past Monday's loss to Cincinnati. He hasn't practiced at all since suffering the injury, so he didn't appear to be close to being able to suit up this week.

Thomas (knee) won't play in Monday's matchup against Cincinnati, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Thomas didn't practice at all this week and will miss his second game of the campaign. The 24-year-old safety was carted off the field against the Giants on Thanksgiving Day and is dealing with a meniscus injury that could keep him out of action for 2-to-3 weeks, per Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site. Thomas' absence will mainly impact the Cowboys' special-teams unit, as he's logged double-digit defensive snaps only twice this season.

Cowboys' Juanyeh Thomas: Poised to make roster
Rotowire
Thomas appears to have won a spot on the Cowboys' initial 53-man roster, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
An undrafted free agent in 2022, Thomas began last season on the practice squad and ended it on the practice squad injured list for an undisclosed injury. Healthy this offseason, the Georgia Tech product has had a big camp and seems to have secured a depth safety role in the Dallas secondary. That could come with more defensive snaps than expected, as coordinator Dan Quinn likes to use hybrid safety/linebackers, and the team's actual LB corps has been hit by injuries. Thomas' main usage will likely come on special teams, however.
