The Facts: Facing the loss of Knowshon Moreno for an extended period, the Dolphins today re-signed Thomas, according to his agent, Tony Fleming.

Diehards Line: Thomas, a second-round pick in 2011, averaged 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7 yards in his three seasons with the Dolphins but lost his job in preseason to Damien Williams and Orleans Darkwa. Thomas missed Miami's first three preseason games because of injury. Moreno is expected to miss four to eight weeks with a dislocated elbow. Lamar Miller sustained an ankle injury during the game but could have returned if the Dolphins had chosen to put him back in the game, according to a team official. But the Dolphins will monitor his situation closely.
