We knew this was coming, even if we didn't want to admit it to ourselves.
On Monday, the Indianapolis Colts cut guard Donald Thomas just a few days after he was activated off of the physically unable to play list.
Thomas had missed both of the last two seasons after tearing his quad in the Colts' Week 2 loss to the Dolphins in 2013. After initially tearing his quad in that September game, Thomas tore the same quad at the beginning of training camp last season, prompting a return to the injured reserve list.
It's difficult to make an NFL team after missing two consecutive seasons, and this move has been predicted for months.
