2025 Projections
Shifts to IR
The Jets placed Thomas (shoulder) on injured reserve Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Thomas has been dealing with a shoulder issue since last week's loss to the Dolphins, and he was already ruled out for this Sunday's contest versus Jacksonville. He'll now shift to IR for the remainder of the regular season, which will effectively end his 2025 campaign since the Jets have already been eliminated from playoff contention. Thomas tallied 22 tackles and seven passes defended across 12 appearances during his 2025 rookie season. In his absence, Qwan'tez Stiggers and/or Tre Brown should be in line for bigger roles opposite starting cornerback Brandon Stephens.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Making push to start over Stephens
Thomas has outplayed Brandon Stephens so far in camp and is making a push to start at cornerback out of the gate, per Eric Edholm of NFL.com.
ANALYSIS
Thomas and Stephens are both new to the Jets, as Thomas was drafted in the third round out of Florida State while Stephens came over from the Ravens in free agency on a three-year, $36 million contract. Stephens has been the presumptive favorite to earn the starting job, but Thomas is making a push for that role. Thomas excelled in coverage at Florida State, and he could develop into a shutdown cornerback at the NFL level if concerns about his lack of speed prove to be overblown.
