The Broncos signed Thomas, out of Michigan, as an undrafted free agent in 2017. He spent most of last year on the practice squad but has played in most of the Broncos regular season games this year.

The Broncos decision to put Su'a Cravens on the inactive list for Saturday's game meant Thomas gets more playing time.
