Zavion Thomas out here and doesn’t appear to have much of a limp at all after leaving practice with a knee issue yesterday. Good sign, although he’s not actually participating in the walk-thru. Luther Burden, Kyler Gordon, Montez Sweat and pretty much every other injured player signing autographs. Burden seemed to be walking relatively normally.

Third-round rookie Zavion Thomas was mostly with the second team but given his ball-in-hand ability, it's fair to expect him to take snaps early as a decoy player. On a wet practice field where everyone's cleats seemed stuck in mud, Thomas still flew, creating yards after the catch on a crossing pattern and scoring on a quick-out breaker.
