The Texans re-signed Thomas on a one-year, $3 million deal Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Thomas appeared in just 10 games last season, spending the first seven weeks on IR with a quadriceps injury. The veteran corner finished the season with 41 tackles (23 solo), one pass defensed and two forced fumbles. Thomas will likely find himself in a rotational role once again heading into the 2023 campaign.

Rotowire
Thomas (quadriceps) was activated to the Texans' 53-man roster Thursday.
Thomas spent the first seven weeks of the season on Houston's IR with a quadriceps injury before being designated to return to practice last Wednesday. Now, the second-year cornerback will be available to suit up for the first heading into Thursday's game against the Eagles. Thomas played 618 defensive snaps and collected 86 tackles, four passes defended and two interceptions over 17 games with the Texans last season, and he could play a prominent reserve role if Desmond King (knee) is held out against Philadelphia.

Rotowire
Thomas (quadriceps) has been designated to return from injured reserve and is back at practice Wednesday.
Thomas has returned to practice following the quadriceps injury he suffered in August, and the team will now have 21 days to either add him to the active roster or leave him on IR the rest of the season. The 26-year-old is expected to serve as an option at nickelback on defensive packages and operate as a special-teams ace when healthy.

Texans' Tavierre Thomas: Out indefinitely with pulled quad
Rotowire
Thomas pulled his quadriceps and is out indefinitely, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
After solidifying himself as a special-teams ace early in his career, Thomas signed with the Texans last year and served as the team's nickelback, totaling a career-high 86 tackles and two interceptions. His absence will likely heat up competition in Houston's secondary, which features plenty of unproven talent.

Texans' Tavierre Thomas: Chooses Texans
Rotowire
Thomas agreed Wednesday with the Texans on a two-year contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Thomas spent the last three seasons in Cleveland but never made a true impact until injuries piled up in the team's secondary last season. The 25-year-old recorded 30 tackles, a sack and a forced fumble across 203 defensive snaps in 2020. The Texans will likely rely on Thomas mostly as a special-teams contributor during the upcoming campaign.

Browns' Tavierre Thomas: Listed as questionable
Rotowire
Thomas (abdomen) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
Thomas has been limited in practice all week due to an abdominal injury, and he appears truly questionable for Cleveland's matchup against Kansas City in Week 9. The undrafted rookie has played all of his snaps on special teams, so his absence would be unlikely to notably impact the Browns' secondary.
