Any word on Randy Thomas playing tonight?

[skinsngibbs4life]

I know he is listed as probable on the injury report, which would lead me to believe that he will play tonight.

Anyone know for sure if the big guy is going to get some time?

[RAAZ227]

From what I am hearing I think so.

[GIT R DONE83]

All the reports I've heard says he will be playing tonight

[Coach Janky Spanky]

No one will know, including probably him, until close to gametime

This from Jason LaCanfora's blog from yesterday (no update today there)

Guard Randy Thomas (triceps), a key offensive cog, stopped of short of saying he will return Thursday, but sounded swfully optimistic.
"Mentally, I'm there," Thomas said. "Physically, I'm there, And we've got to win this game. I can't wait."

[TGI Jef]

hell yeah!

i could get used to this thursday game thing. i always sit here and read about the redskins' upcoming games, and thursday is when a lot of the press starts to come out. i always want the game to be played immediatly - i cant wait.

and today, i (we) dont have to. unreal. i am absolutely exstatic that we get to watch the redskins tonight.

Good ****. I can't wait to see him back out there pancaking defenders on his pulls :cheers:

[CM916]

I think he will get some time but he probably won't draw the start, I'd expect them to ease him back into it so he will be ready for our back to back road games.

[SKINS58]

From ESPN Insider, they are reporting that he is STARTING tonight!

I think that is a pretty good estimation. He might start, but I couldn't see him playing the entire game... He will probably split time with Fabini tonight

is a link at all possible?

[Rdskn4Lyf21]

Everywhere I read, he is expected to start - he knows the importance of this game and it seems like he is making it his mission to come back tonight and to be an impact.

[Skinsfor4]

Different team will be out there tonight with him back.This should help our play-calling now that we have 2 sides of the O line instead of 1.

[skindogger47]

A deaf, one-legged circus midget would be better than Fabini. Please get in there Randy.

[Chump Bailey]

Good to get Randy back definitely. Interestingly enough, although the line has been much maligned of late, the Sports Junkies noted this morning that according to the stats - the line has fared pretty well overall when compared to the rest of the league. We're supposedly right in the middle of the pack regarding protection and run blocking.

[Redskins4ever]

I'm hoping that Thomas is playing tonight. Fabini has done a great job in his place but we need flawless run blocking and pass protection on the right side of the o line.

[squatch66]

id like to see randy and heyer on the right side of the line.

[Fan since a Fetus]

Good ****. I can't wait to see him back out there pancaking defenders on his pulls :cheers:

Me too! I just hope he is in shape and doesn't do any waffleing!

[MonkFan8]

I really hope he plays. Having him and Sellers back would be a huge boost.

[jnhay]

No one will know, including probably him, until close to gametime
I can't see how it's possible for a 10 week injury to come down to a game time decision. They know if he's playing, they're just waiting until the last minute to say something.

[Diggs43]

Finally the Fabini experiment ends. Welcome back Randy!

you are so right about that one. HAIL

[TheREALJBird]

Sweet, now we have some consistency on both sides of the line again

It seems like we either play really good or really bad, but no in-between. At least with Randy back we should have some consistency, and we should at least be adequate each week... if not great

[Chris Lamb]

I feel a good plan would be to start Fabini for a quarter then put RT in after the bears d-line is little winded as to take advantage to the situation. Fabini is used to game time and Thomas could capitalize on it.

[Dan T.]

A deaf, one-legged circus midget would be better than Fabini. Please get in there Randy.

That guy's on the Practice Squad. He's an undrafted free agent out of Barnum & Bailey.

[Dan T.]

Thomas is starting alongside Heyer instead of Wade.

[Redskin4ever]

Larry Michaels just said Thomas is expected to start. He is active tonight.
