Panthers' Ian Thomas: Catches lone look
Thomas caught his only target for nine yards in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Titans.
Thomas' reception was just his third this season and his first since Week 5. After an extended absence due to a calf injury, the veteran has returned for the past two games but holds most his value as a blocker.

Panthers' Ian Thomas: Active for Week 11
Thomas (calf) is active for Sunday's matchup with the Cowboys, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official website reports.
Thomas was activated from injured reserve Saturday and he will officially make his return from the calf injury that has sidelined him for four weeks. The 27-year-old could operate with a slightly larger workload Sunday with Hayden Hurst (concussion) unavailable at tight end.

Panthers' Ian Thomas: Activated from IR
The Panthers activated Thomas (calf) from injured reserve Saturday, but he remains questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Thomas has sat out Carolina's past four contests while on IR with a calf injury. He was designated to return Monday and practiced in full Friday after logging limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday. Thomas' potential return is timely, with Hayden Hurst set to miss Week 11 due to a concussion.

Panthers' Ian Thomas: Questionable for Sunday vs. Cowboys
Thomas (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus Dallas, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Thomas was able to log a full practice Friday, likely putting him on the probable end of the official questionable designation. If he can't play, 2021 third-rounder Tommy Tremble will probably continue to see more playing time as a result.

Panthers' Ian Thomas: Logs another limited practice
Thomas (calf) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Thomas was designated to return from injured reserve earlier in the week, and he's been able to record limited practice sessions both Wednesday and Thursday. The 27-year-old tight end will likely carry an injury designation into the weekend, and he must be activated to the Panthers' active roster in order to suit up Sunday.

Panthers' Ian Thomas: Returns to practice
Thomas (calf) was a limited participant during practice Wednesday.
Thomas was designated to return from injured reserve Monday, so a slow start with practice makes sense for the Indiana product. Whether he'll be ready to return Sunday against the Cowboys remains up in the air, but the Panthers still have plenty of time in their 21-day window to move him back onto the active roster.

Panthers' Ian Thomas: Gets green light to practice
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.

Panthers' Ian Thomas: Out at least four weeks
Thomas (calf) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.
As a result, Thomas will miss at minimum of four weeks. Primarily a blocking specialist, the sixth-year tight end has just two catches through six weeks and has played only 85 total offensive snaps, far fewer than when he averaged over 600 the past two seasons. Stephen Sullivan (hip) was activated off injured reserve in a corresponding move.

Panthers' Ian Thomas: Now questionable for Week 6
Thomas (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Miami.
Thomas has played in all five of Carolina's games so far this season and was not listed on the injury report Wednesday or Thursday, but after presumably sustaining a calf injury during practice, his availability for Sunday is now in jeopardy. Tommy Tremble would likely be in line for more snaps if Thomas is forced to sit out.

Panthers' Ian Thomas: Reworks deal with Panthers
Thomas agreed to a restructured contract with the Panthers on Thursday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
Thomas signed a three-year extension in the 2022 offseason, and his reworked deal will help Carolina's cap flexibility. He's expected to occupy a backup role after the Panthers signed fellow tight end Hayden Hurst to a three-year contract Wednesday.

Panthers' Ian Thomas: No touchdowns in 2022
Thomas caught 21 of 30 targets for 197 yards while playing all 17 games in the 2022 season.
Thomas filled his usual blocking role while sharing the tight-end targets alongside Tommy Tremble for a second straight year. While Thomas' production over the past four seasons hasn't changed much, he notably hasn't scored since 2020. Despite the possibility of a new coaching staff and starting quarterback in 2023, it's hard to envision Thomas' value shifting significantly.
