He joins the Colts with the bulk of his playing time in Dallas coming on special teams, although Thomas did appear poised to take on a larger role defensively prior to migraines ending his season.
Over 156 coverage snaps in 2025, Thomas was targeted only three times and held opponents to a modes 9.0 yards per catch. He’s also generated four career pass breakups on only 21 targets, per PFF.
