Carolina signed Thomas to a contract on Friday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
Thomas has played in five games since entering the NFL in 2021, with four of those coming in his rookie season with the Chargers and one coming last year as a member of the Packers. The Kansas State product has yet to play a defensive snap, as he's been limited so far to work on special teams. Thomas also played in the UFL with the Houston Roughnecks this spring, accumulating 14 tackles (11 solo) and an interception that he returned for 52 yards over six games.
