Injuries have been an ongoiung issue for Thomas, who fractured his left foot in pre-draft workouts but was still the first receiver selected in the draft. He was just starting to flash his athleticism and mobility, when he re-injured his surgically repaired foot early in training camp and didn’t return until after the opener. He had a spectacular debut in Week 2, catching eight passes for 97 yards and a touchdown against Seattle, but he never tallied more than three catches in any game the rest of the season. He was knocked out of one game with a concussion while returning a kickoff and was also sidelined for the final five weeks of the season with a sprained ankle. Thomas played in 10 games, starting twice and finishing with 22 receptions for 283 yards and two scores. He also returned 16 kicks for a 24.9-yard average.
