How Long Will Randy Thomas Be Out?

[kdogg3270]

I read in the washington post just the other day that he is on pace in his rehab..and is looking to come back in December.

All the recent injuries to the OL may force our hand to put him on IR to bring in new linemen. I hope that's not the case, because we have a real shot at the post-season, and Thomas would be a huge late season infusion of talent for the OL.

Yeah, but even if he IS placed on IR, if we make the post-season, couldn't he technically still play in the playoffs? I'm thinking that is true.

Nope. Once placed on IR you are done for the regular season AND the playoffs.

To bad because by then like Custer the Redskins will be done! Well there is 08!

Redskins Insider

The good news is that the Mix kid is big -- 6-5, 235. He can also play special teams, of course, and figures to do a lot of blocking in the jumbo package (a lot of the hitting that James Thrash did).
The departure of DeMulling would seem to signal optimism that Randy Thomas will be back in two or three weeks.

Redskins Add Mix, Release DeMulling

Seems like just speculation still but redskins.com said the same thing:

"DeMulling's release could signal that right guard Randy Thomas could be nearing his return from a triceps injury suffered in Week 2."
