Sun Dec 7 201414:31Julius Thomas: (Ankle) Will Play Sunday
Thomas (ankle) will be active for Sunday's game against the Bills, according to Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com.
Thomas was considered a game-time decision after missing the last two contests with the injury, but he was cleared to play after warming up on the field with backup quarterback Brock Osweiler. While Thomas will play, he is expected to be limited, as his ankle is clearly not 100 percent healthy.

Thomas (ankle) remains a true game-time decision for Sunday's contest against the Bills, according to Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com.
There is talk that Thomas himself will make the final determination whether he plays, though it's very clear that he'll be far from 100 percent. Jacob Tamme is a possible replacement in the lineup, though he's questionable with a rib injury, leaving Virgil Green as the last option, though he's much more of a blocking tight end than a legitimate fantasy replacement.

Thomas' status for Sunday's game against the Bills will not be determined until a few hours before kickoff, as his injured ankle is still far from 100 percent, the Denver Post reports.
Thomas, who has missed the last two games, is officially listed as questionable for the game, and with Jacob Tamme questionable with a rib injury, Virgil Green could be used more on passing downs, though he remains primarily a blocking tight end.

Thomas (ankle) was limited in practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills, the Broncos' official site reports.
Per the Denver Post, Thomas' status for Sunday's game remains unclear, though if the tight end does sit out Sunday's 4:05 ET kickoff, his owners should at least have more replacement options to consider that they did last week when the Broncos kicked off Sunday night.
Thu Dec 4 201414:26Thomas (left ankle sprain) practiced again on Thursday
Thomas (left ankle sprain) practiced again on Thursday, ESPN's Jeff Legwold reports.
The report indicates that Thomas was moving well at practice Thursday, which offers encouragement with regard to the tight end's possible return for Sunday's 4:05 kickoff against the Bills. More on his status no later than Friday, upon the release of the Broncos' Week 14 injury report.
Sun Nov 30 201419:06Julius Thomas: Inactive Sunday
Thomas (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
Jacob Tamme figures to see added TE snaps for Denver on Sunday, though he didn't do much filling in for Thomas in Week 12, catching just one pass for minus-1 yard.
Sun Nov 30 201412:55Thomas (ankle) will be game-time decision Sunday against Chiefs
Thomas (ankle) will be a game-time decision Sunday against the Chiefs, according to Fox Sports' Jay Glazer.
Thomas was unable to play last Sunday against the Dolphins due to the injury, and while he put in limited practices Thursday and Friday, he still hasn't shown his ankle is strong enough to play Sunday night. Jacob Tamme figures to see more offensive snaps if Thomas can't play, though he was hardly a viable replacement in Week 12, catching just one pass for minus-1 yard.

Thomas appears unlikely to play Sunday against the Chiefs because of an ankle injury, according to Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports.
Thomas is officially listed as questionable for the game after putting in limited practices Thursday and Friday. The difficulty for fantasy owners is that Thomas is playing in the Sunday night game, making it very difficult to make roster adjustments if he doesn't go. Jacob Tamme figures to see more offensive snaps if Thomas can't play, though he was hardly a viable replacement in Week 12, catching just one pass for minus-1 yard.

Thomas (left ankle sprain) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Kansas City after practicing in a limited fashion again on Friday, per the Chiefs' official site.
Meanwhile, ESPN.com relays that coach John Fox noted after practice that Thomas (who was inactive last week) looked "much better" this Friday than he did last Friday. That said, the tight end's Week 13 status may not be confirmed until Sunday, with such a scenario problematic for fantasy owners, given the Broncos' 8:30 ET kickoff.
Thu Nov 27 201417:44Thomas (left ankle sprain) practice on limited basis Thursday
Thomas (left ankle sprain) practice on a limited basis Thursday, ESPN.com reports.
The report notes that Thomas received treatment following the Broncos' practice, with the tight end's status for Sunday night's game against the Chiefs still unclear. When asked Thursday about the Week 13 status of Thomas and linebacker Brandon Marshall, coach John Fox replied, "I don't like trying to predict the future, we'll see where they are (Friday)."

Thomas (left ankle sprain) was able to do some individual drills on Thursday, ESPN's Jeff Legwold reports.
While that's step in the right direction, we'll have to see how the Broncos officially classify Thomas' Thursday practice participation level. We'll continue to monitor the tight end's status, though keep in mind that the Broncos are playing Sunday night, so hopefully there will be added clarity with regard to Thomas' Week 13 status in advance of the first wave of NFL kickoffs Sunday.

Thomas (sprained ankle) did not practice Wednesday, the Broncos' official site reports.

Thomas suffered the injury in Week 11 and was unable to play last Sunday against the Dolphins because he could not practice at all last week.

Thomas (left ankle sprain) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, ESPN's Jeff Legwold reports.

Per the Denver Post, Thomas figures to be a game-day decision for Sunday's game, with Andrew Mason of denverbroncos.com relaying that the team lists the tight end, who was on the field some Friday, as a non-participant at practice. At this stage, Thomas is looking iffy for Sunday's 4:25 ET game, though those inclined to wait things out on his status will need to line up a contingency plan involving a tight end who does not play during the early wave of Week 12 contests.
