What It Means:

This isn't a surprise, as Thomas' high-ankle sprain diagnosis is expected to be a multi-week affair - though the team decided against placing him on injured reserve. While Thomas has publicly been adamant about trying to beat the timeline he was given, another missed practice doesn't bode well for his chances of playing Sunday against Green Bay. Emmanuel Sanders and Tre'Quan Smith figure to be the top receiving options should Thomas be held out.

Green Bay's secondary has been pretty solid through two weeks, ranking 13th in the NFL in adjusted defensive net expected points per pass play.
