Thomas was placed on Reserve/COVID-19 on Aug. 6, so he’s been on the list for nearly two weeks. Now, with his activation, he has a chance to play in Monday’s game against the New Orleans Saints and push for a roster spot.
At the moment, the Jags have Thomas as their No. 3 safety behind Rayshawn Jenkins and Andrew Wingard. He’s there at the No. 3 spot alongside Brandon Rusnak, so it appears a good performance could be needed to stick around through the next wave of cuts.
The Jags drafted Thomas last season in the fifth round of the 2020 NFL Draft. He registered two starts and played in 10 games before going on injured reserve last November. He exited his rookie season with 18 combined tackles, and blocked a punt and returned it for a touchdown.
As for Barcoo, the Jags signed him as an undrafted free agent out of San Diego State last season. He played in three games for the Jags and started in one and was able to accumulate 10 total tackles as a rookie.
