Browns' Daniel Thomas: Signs with Cleveland
The Browns signed Thomas on Friday.
The 27-year-old safety has appeared in 83 career regular-season games, including six starts, but has mainly worked on special teams. Thomas logged 23 tackles (10 solo) and one pass breakup across 12 appearances with the Lions last season.

Lions' Daniel Thomas: Makes 23 stops
Thomas recorded 23 tackles (10 solo) and one pass defended across 12 games with the Lions in 2025.
Thomas has primarily been a contributor on special teams throughout his career, and that was the case again for much of 2025. However, he played a combined 78 defensive snaps across Detroit's final two games and accounted for 14 of his 23 stops in that span. Thomas will become a free agent this offseason and will likely sign a modest, short-term deal to serve as a special-teamer.

Lions' Daniel Thomas: Ready to play
Thomas (forearm) is active for Sunday's matchup with the Commanders.
The safety was activated from IR on Saturday. Thomas has not played since going down with the forearm injury in Week 3. The sixth-year pro has played on 50 special-teams snaps and nine defensive snaps in 2025, recording two tackles (one solo).

Lions' Daniel Thomas: Activated from IR
The Lions activated Thomas (forearm) from injured reserve Saturday.
Thomas remains questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders, but this move would suggest he's on track to play for the first time since going down with the forearm injury in Week 3. Thomas logged just nine defensive snaps across the first three games of the season but is a fixture on special teams for Detroit.

Lions' Daniel Thomas: Not activated for Week 9
Thomas (forearm) was not activated from injured reserve and has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
With Thomas' 21-day practice window opened earlier this week, his status for Sunday's game was in question. The team reported on X that he will not play this week and will remain on injured reserve. The 2020 fifth-rounder is in the final stages of his recovery from a broken forearm sustained in late September, and he will now look to return to the active roster for Week 10.

Lions' Daniel Thomas: Designated to return from IR
The Lions designated Thomas (forearm) to return from injured reserve Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News initially reported that Thomas would be designated to return from IR on Tuesday, but the Lions have opted to open the 2020 fifth-rounder's 21-day practice window a day earlier. Thomas is in the final stages of his recovery from a broken forearm that he sustained in late September, and his practice participation this week will determine whether he's activated off IR ahead of the Lions' NFC North tilt against the Vikings on Sunday.

Lions' Daniel Thomas: Set to have practice window opened
The Lions plan on opening Thomas' (forearm) 21-day practice window to return from injured reserve Tuesday, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.
Thomas underwent surgery to repair a broken forearm that he sustained during the Lions' Week 3 win over the Ravens, which prompted his placement on injured reserve. The 2020 fifth-rounder has had five weeks to recover and will be cleared to practice once he is designated to return from IR by the Lions. That gives Thomas a chance to be activated from IR ahead of Detroit's Week 9 clash against Minnesota on Sunday. He mostly served in a special-teams role when healthy, though he could see an increased role in the secondary if Kerby Joseph (knee) misses time.

Lions' Daniel Thomas: Underwent forearm surgery
Thomas underwent surgery on his broken forearm but could return from injured reserve when eligible in Week 9 versus Minnesota, Justin Rogers of Detroit Football Network reports.
Thomas suffered the injury on special teams in Week 3 against the Ravens. He'd previously been dealing with a broken hand on the same side. Thomas is a special-teams asset and reserve safety for the Lions.

Lions' Daniel Thomas: Moves to IR
Thomas (forearm) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.
The 27-year-old safety didn't practice all week after sustaining a forearm injury in Detroit's Week 3 win over the Ravens, and he'll now be forced to miss at least the team's next four games. Thomas has played 59 total snaps (nine on defense, 50 on special teams) through three contests this season, recording two total tackles.

Lions' Daniel Thomas: Unavailable for Week 4
Thomas (forearm) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Browns, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.
Thomas was absent from practice throughout the entire week as he nurses an apparent forearm injury. In his absence, Thomas Harper may be asked to operate in a larger role at reserve safety behind starters Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph versus Cleveland.

Lions' Daniel Thomas: Full participant in practice
Thomas (hand) was a full participant in Detroit's practice Wednesday.
Thomas has seemingly recovered from the hand injury he suffered during the first quarter of the team's Week 1 loss to the Packers. The 27-year-old should be good to go for Sunday's matchup versus the Bears, where he will likely serve as a backup safety behind Kerby Joseph and Brian Branch once again.

Lions' Daniel Thomas: Exits game with hand injury
Thomas is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Packers due to a hand injury.
Thomas may have picked up the injury during the Lions' first defensive drive in the first quarter. He'll undergo further tests to determine the severity of the injury and whether he can return to Sunday's contest. Thomas entered Sunday's game as the only reserve safety on the active roster behind Kerby Joseph and Brian Branch.

Jaguars' Daniel Thomas: Ready to play Sunday
Thomas (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Bears in London.
Thomas has been cleared to play Sunday, despite missing the Jaguars' Week 5 win over the Colts and then being listed as questionable heading into the weekend after he was a limited participant in practices Wednesday through Friday. He should reprise his usual role as a backup safety and core special-teams contributor.

Jaguars' Daniel Thomas: Questionable for Week 6
Thomas (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bears, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Thomas sustained a hamstring injury during Jaguars' practice last week that sidelined him for the team's Week 5 win over the Colts. However, he's got a chance to return in Week 6 after logging three consecutive limited practice sessions. If Thomas can't play through his hamstring injury Sunday, expect Darnell Savage to see increased work as the Jaguars' top reserve safety.

Jaguars' Daniel Thomas: Not playing Sunday
Thomas (hamstring) is inactive Sunday against the Colts.
Thomas was a late addition to the injury report, not showing up on it until Friday when he logged a limited practice. His absence will leave the Jaguars lighter on depth in the secondary for Week 5.
