Coaches said he did not re-tear the triceps, but there was swelling around the injury.
"It's tough," Thomas said on Thursday. "I had a long talk with Coach [Joe] Gibbs. We decided [injured reserve] would be best for me as a player. You have to be careful--it's a tough game.
Gibbs said that Thomas needed to rebuild strength in his arm before returning to the lineup.
Said Thomas: "I tried to come back. The training camp did their best to try and get me to come back. You just never know. But I learned it early that I'm not ready and I need more time."
