Thomas signed a reserve/future contract with the Vikings on Wednesday, Craig Peters of the team's official site reports.
Thomas has spent his entire two-year NFL career with the Vikings' organization since signing as an undrafted free agent in April of 2023. He has been on Minnesota's practice squad for each of those two seasons, and his futures contract ensures that he'll be on the Vikings' 90-man roster when the new league year begins March 12. Thomas will participate in OTAs, minicamp and training camp while working his way toward a spot on the Vikings' 53-man roster for the 2025 campaign.
