The 26-year-old Thomas was a sixth-round pick by the Bears in the 2022 NFL Draft. He was waived by Chicago following his debut training camp but re-signed to the team's practice squad. Thomas then joined Los Angeles in Nov. 2022 and went on to play three games between the 2022 and 2023 campaigns. He saw 26% of offensive snaps and 15% of special teams snaps in 2023.
Demontrey Jacobs, 25, has not yet played an NFL game. The 6-foot-6, 315-pound tackle played three seasons for South Florida and was undrafted out of college.
