Overview

  • Left tackle Andrew Thomas opens training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list while rehabbing from his October Lisfranc surgery.
  • The PUP designation allows Thomas to be activated at any time before the late-August cutdown, keeping him on a day-to-day recovery plan.
  • Running back Eric Gray was also placed on PUP, and outside linebacker Victor Dimukeje was designated on the non-football injury list to manage depth.
  • Safety Anthony Johnson Jr. was waived/injured to clear a roster spot for veteran K’Von Wallace, who signed with the team on July 22.
  • Since signing a five-year, $117.5 million extension in July 2023, Thomas has appeared in only 16 of 34 games, prompting an extra-cautious return strategy to ensure Week 1 readiness.
