Thomas recorded nine total tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defended in Sunday's 20-12 win over the Jaguars.
The NC State product played a season-high 63 defensive snaps and made the most of his increased opportunities, tying rookie Nick Emmanwori for the most tackles on the Seahawks' defense in Sunday's win. Thomas has now tallied 27 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, and two passes defended over Seattle's first six games this season. He's expected to remain an integral part of the team's defense ahead of a Week 7 matchup against the Texans.

Seahawks' Drake Thomas: Moves to IR
Rotowire
Seattle placed Thomas (knee) on injured reserve Monday, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
Thomas twisted his knee late in Sunday's Week 9 loss to Baltimore, and the injury is apparently severe enough to keep him out of at least the next four games. The rookie linebacker has logged just four defensive snaps across seven contests this season, but he's been a key special teamer for the Seahawks. Thomas isn't eligible to be activated until Sunday, Dec. 10 for a matchup with the 49ers in San Francisco.
