With LaMont Jordan still out with a leg injury, the Broncos signed former University of Texas-El Paso running back Marcus Thomas, who was at practice Wednesday.

The Broncos’ other Marcus Thomas has started 20 consecutive games at defensive tackle.

The tailback Thomas was a fifth-round draft pick of the San Diego Chargers last year.

Broncos signed RB Marcus B. Thomas, formerly of the Browns.

The former fifth-round pick is literally seventh on the tailback depth chart.

Browns waived RB Marcus B. Thomas.

San Diego's fifth-round pick in 2008 has already bounced between three teams' rosters. Thomas may lack the explosiveness to make this a career.

Cowboys signed RB Marcus B. Thomas to their practice squad.

This addition may indicate concern about Marion Barber's re-injured toe. Thomas, a fifth-round pick last April, was last with the Lions. He'll be fourth in the pecking order behind Barber, Tashard Choice, and Alonzo Coleman.

Lions released RB Marcus Thomas.

They'll likely sign the fifth-rounder to their practice squad if he clears waivers.

Lions declared RB Marcus Thomas, QB Drew Stanton, LB Gilbert Gardner, G Stephen Peterman, T George Foster, DT Andre Fluellen, DE Ikaika Alama-Francis, and DE Landon Cohen inactive for Week 5.

Thomas got hurt in practice. Gosder Cherilus starts at right tackle.


Marcus Thomas-RB- Broncos Aug. 31 - 5:46 pm et

Lions claimed RB Marcus B. Thomas off waivers from the Chargers.

San Diego took a big risk by waiving Thomas after his solid preseason and it didn't pay off. A fifth-round pick out of UTEP, Thomas immediately becomes Detroit's No. 3 tailback and could be the team's best short-yardage runner already, assuming a veteran isn't signed. Keep an eye on him.

Chargers waived RB Marcus B. Thomas, G Erik Robertson, LB Carlos Polk, OT Tony Pape, LB Terna Nande, OT Tyler Luellen, WR Mark Jones, and OL Brandyn Dombrowski.

Thomas was effective in the preseason and may latch on elsewhere. If not, he could go to the practice squad. Polk became expendable with Jyles Tucker's emergence. Darren Sproles will likely return punts with Jones gone.

Rookie Marcus Thomas rushed for 48 yards on 13 carries and caught two balls for 13 yards in the Chargers' first preseason game Saturday.

Thomas virtually matched Jacob Hester's production, but he's not seen as a threat to take the backup job. He did look fairly nimble for a bigger back, and he performed well in the passing game.


Marcus Thomas-RB- Broncos Jul. 1 - 9:07 pm et

Chargers signed fifth-round RB Marcus Thomas to a four-year contract.

A physical runner, which is how the Chargers like them. Thomas is expected to be behind fellow rookie Jacob Hester on the depth chart to start the year, but the opportunity is there for him to carve out a significant role.


Marcus Thomas-RB- Broncos Apr. 27 - 3:18 pm et

Chargers selected UTEP RB Marcus B. Thomas with the No. 166 overall pick in the draft.

Thomas ran for 1,166 yards (5.1 YPC) and scored 16 TDs as a senior for the Miners. He was used in the passing game throughout his career. Thomas ran in the 4.6s at the Combine and is 6'1/215. Among Darren Sproles and Jacob Hester, Thomas could emerge as the safest bet to be LaDainian Tomlinson's direct backup.


i found that last info interesting,unfortunately this guy was cut by the lions after and 0-16 season.....that can't be good !oh well insurance is better than being unprepared
