Defensive coordinator Wes Goodwin is scheduled to meet with the media after Monday morning’s practice and is expected to provide a more detailed update at that time.

UPDATE: Goodwin didn’t add much to the original report when meeting with the media. He just did Thomas would miss 4-6 weeks with a foot injury and that the surgery would take place on Monday.

“He has had a great camp and in a great spot conditioning-wise,” Goodwin said. “Unfortunate setback but he has the right mindset and will respond and get him back early in the year.
