On Friday, tight end Ian Thomas randomly popped up on the injury report with a calf injury. Now, we know he’ll be replacing Stephen Sullivan on the injured/reserve list.

While Thomas has been a bit of a contentious (I’m being nice) player for Panthers fans since Matt Rhule signed him to an extension, he’s quietly been a good blocker for the Panthers. With Giovanni Ricci officially listed as out on Sunday, the Panthers now go into the Dolphins game short handed at tight end.
