Ok, let's check this part here:
Quote:
“We just gave [Thomas] a couple reps,” special teams coordinator Danny Smith said. “He has done it in his past and we were waiting for a situation to do that in. We were just trying it out. We’ll see where we go from here.”
At Michigan State, Thomas excelled as a kick returner. In two seasons with the Spartans, he established himself as the Big Ten’s all-time leader with 1,136 kickoff return yards. His 29.1-yard kick return average in 2007 was ranked 11th in the nation.
Cartwright is expected to continue to serve as the Redskins’ primary kick returner.

Thomas was simply given a look at returning. There is no indication he is falling to that spot or that he's out of the mix at WR.
