Thomas practiced on Wednesday, Sept. 7, 2022, for the first time since Aug. 18, after working his way back from a hamstring injury. Thomas set a single-season record in 2019 with 149 receptions but missed all of last season because of complications from an ankle injury that also sidelined him for much of the 2020 season. His goal, he said, is to play in the Sunday, Sept. 11, 2022, Week 1 game at Atlanta. (AP Photo/Gerald Herbert, File)
