  Panthers | Ian Thomas limited Wednesday    Wed Sep 28, 03:04 PM

Carolina Panthers TE Ian Thomas (ankle) was limited in practice on Wednesday, Sept. 28.

Footballguys view: Thomas has been consistently uninvolved in the Panthers' offense. He's gotten three targets each game this year, and Thomas has just five catches for 79 scoreless yards. Tight end is brutal for Fantasy GMs, and we don't see Thomas becoming a hot name on your waiver wire given his current usage.

Carolina Panthers WR Robbie Anderson (quadriceps) and TE Ian Thomas (ribs) are expected to return to practice this week, head coach Matt Rhule said on Saturday, Aug. 27.

Footballguys view: Anderson is the no.2 receiver for the Panthers, but there's not a lot of fantasy appeal to his game. If you're in need of a WR6/7 then Anderson is your guy. However, you'll have plenty of options that seem more exciting this season.

Updating a previous report, Carolina Panthers TE Ian Thomas (ribs) is expected to miss a week or two due to an unspecified rib injury, according to head coach Matt Rhule on Wednesday, Aug. 10.

Footballguys view: Tommy Tremble sits atop the depth chart for the Panthers. Thomas was competing to work into the mix as a no.2 tight end. Without Thomas for a week or two, Stephen Sullivan gets a larger opportunity.

  Panthers | Ian Thomas injured Tuesday    Tue Aug 9, 04:16 PM

Carolina Panthers TE Ian Thomas (ribs) injured his ribs during practice Tuesday, Aug. 9.

Footballguys view: It's always something with Thomas, or at least it feels like he's always banged up. In minicamp, Thomas had a high-ankle sprain. Now, he's got a ribs injury to deal with. Earlier this offseason, Thomas signed a three-year, $16 million extension. With Thomas potentially missing time, second-year pro Tommy Tremble will get more time.

  Panthers | Ian Thomas not practicing    Tue Jun 14, 11:51 AM

Carolina Panthers TE Ian Thomas (ankle) doesn't appear to be practicing at minicamp Tuesday, June 14.

Footballguys view: Not only is this an ankle injury, it was described as a high-ankle injury when Thomas suffered it. High-ankle injuries can linger if not given enough time to heal. Good thing for Thomas is that there's plenty of time before the start of training camp. We'll see him compete with Tommy Tremble in a tight end situation that has not been productive under head coach Matt Rhule.

Carolina Panthers TE Ian Thomas agreed to a three-year, $16.5 million deal Friday, Feb. 25. He'll receive $6.435 million in the first year and has $8 million fully guaranteed.

Footballguys view: This is an interesting move for the big-bodied blocker. Tommy Tremble is the team's primary receiving tight end, and Thomas should remain as the blocker who gets targeted a small handful of times.

  Panthers | Ian Thomas making an impression    Wed Jun 2, 02:11 PM

Carolina Panthers TE Ian Thomas has enjoyed a 'tremendous offseason,' according to head coach Matt Rhule.

Footballguys view: That's a good sign for Thomas, but he's always had the natural talent but has yet to put it all together as a pro. Now, the Panthers have Dan Arnold as their top tight end and Thomas is the no.2 at the position. Last year, the Panthers only had 27 receptions (Thomas had 20 of those) at the tight end position. We'll see if Rhule does a better job of emphasizing the position in 2021.
