I thought David Thomas showed alot of promise as a receiving tight end last year and was hoping he'd make a big jump this season. Has anyone heard how he's doing in camp so far?

Thomas hasn't been participating - he's recovering from a broken foot.

Terrible. He hasn't caught a single pass, hasn't blocked anyone in blitz pickup drills, and has yet to run a correct route.

He'll be back before the end of camp. He broke his foot a long time ago; it should be close to ready by now.

We hope, but recall that he will be using that foot to not only cut while running a route, but as part of his base for wrestling with DL and LBs. I have no doubt Woicik & Co. did a great job of working around the injury to keep his strength up, but I'd take as much time as I needed, if I were the training staff, to give that bone a clean bill of health.

The other fly in the ointment came this morning during a walk-through practice session. Seymour, Jackson, Brown, & Stallworth were all out observing or working outside with the training staff. Mills was back outside observing and walking through assignments. Kyle Brady was seen outside doing route work and running under trainer supervision - but no Dave Thomas. That argues that he has further to go before being exposed to public scrutiny.

With my own expectations for this young man after his rookie season, I am more than happy to see him stay/moved to reserve PUP and come back after week six. We may not get a great year out of him, but he should be hitting his stride in time for the Playoffs when we could really use another Gaffney-like surge. My vote, don't rush him.

As I posted a few weeks ago he was wearing no cast a few weeks ago in the local Panera bread joint.

C.J. might have changed BB prespective on hurrying players in.

That's a positive, but as a guy who spends a fair chunk of his time with doctors and physical/occupational therapists, no cast needed for a quiet sandwich and the strength to push off against a 300+ DL in the trenches is likely a few more weeks with the trainers. It would be great if he showed up at practice Sunday evening, I'd love for Tommy to increase his comfort level with this kid, but I can wait.

The only reason he would not be back shortly is some kind of setback in his recovery.

Oh look on the bright side. He's performing like a second round draft pick wideout.
