Thomas update from JLac

I hope he comes back too. But can we afford to keep his roster spot open for a chance that he can play in 10 to 12 weeks?

I think we can afford to do it right now. Each week will require us to evaluate if we still can keep him on the active. If we are blessed with more health than in past years then it is conceivable to keep him on the active for 7 or 8 weeks and then see where he is at and whether it is even possible for him to play by seasons end. If that cast comes off and he can bulk that arm up at a good pace for the following 6 weeks then he can play. It is worth trying for right now.
