The Carolina Panthers may have just begun their post-minicamp/pre-training camp break, but that doesn’t mean they didn’t have some work left over.
That work involved getting their roster up to a full 90-man program, as the team claimed safety Josh Thomas off waivers on Thursday. The Panthers entered the week at 89 players after parting ways with defensive tackle Jalen Dalton on Monday.
Thomas began his NFL journey as an undrafted free agent out of nearby Appalachian State University. Over five seasons in Boone, N.C., he totaled 163 tackles (7.5 for a loss), seven interceptions and a forced fumble in 45 games.
He signed with the Buffalo Bills following the 2020 NFL draft. Thomas would then spend the first two years of his pro career bouncing back and forth between the Bills’ practice squad and active roster, appearing in two games during his rookie campaign.
The six-foot, 205-pounder went on to spend the 2022 season with the Arizona Cardinals. He played in a pair of games and totaled four tackles.
