The Kansas City Chiefs drafted Thomas in 2014, and he returned a punt for a touchdown as a rookie. Thomas remained with the Chiefs until the club released him last October. He joined the Ravens and appeared in nine games for the AFC North side.

Thomas re-signed with Baltimore in March.

Training camp sessions open to all players on Tuesday.
