Carolina designated Thomas (calf) for return from injured reserve Monday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
The move allows Thomas to return to practice and starts the clock on a 21-day period during which the Panthers may officially activate him. Carolina's official injury reports over the week will shine some light on his potential availability for Sunday's game versus the Cowboys.
