Chad Thomas: Hits waivers
The Browns waived Thomas on Saturday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Thomas (neck) participated in Thursday's practice, Marla Ridenhour of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Browns' Chad Thomas: Exits early Tuesday
Thomas left Tuesday's practice early due to a neck injury, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
While there isn't a report on the severity of Thomas' injury, he was one of two defensive ends -- Adrian Clayborn (groin) being the other -- absent by the end of practice. The Browns have dominant starters in Myles Garrett and Olivier Vernon, but their depth at defensive end is just as impressive. That could be in danger if Thomas doesn't make a swift recovery.

Browns' Chad Thomas: Increased workload in 2019
Thomas played all 16 games, recording 26 tackles, four sacks, one pass defensed and one fumble recovery in 2019.
Thomas opened the season as depth on the defensive line, but had his playing time increased following Olivier Vernon's knee injury and Myles Garrett's suspension. The Browns may have discovered something in the 2018 third-round draft pick out of Miami. He has two more years remaining on his rookie deal and will be part of the rotation on the defensive line in 2020.

Browns' Chad Thomas: Records sack in loss
Thomas recorded a sack on his lone tackle in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Steelers.
Thomas posted a sack for the third time in the last four games and is making the most of increased playing time with Myles Garrett (suspension) out and Olivier Vernon just getting over a knee injury. Thomas himself was removed from Sunday's game but returned after a visit to the injury tent, according to Scott Patsko of the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Browns' Chad Thomas: Tallies another sack
Thomas recorded three solo tackles, one sack and one defended pass during Thursday's 21-7 win over the Steelers.
Thomas has now recorded a sack in two straight games while filling in for Olivier Vernon (knee), playing a season-high 57 defensive snaps (77 percent) along the way. Vernon may be back in Week 12 against the Dolphins, but Thomas should still be in store for another turn in the starting lineup with the Browns' top defensive end, Myles Garrett, likely facing a lengthy suspension after swinging his helmet at the unprotected head of Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph during a skirmish on the final drive of Thursday's game.

Thomas is prepared to start in place of the injured Olivier Vernon (knee) on Sunday against the Bills, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
