Josh Thomas - DL - Colts

Colts re-signed DE Josh Thomas to a one-year contract.

Thomas played well against the run after Dwight Freeney went down in 2007, but lacks the upside teams look for in potential starters. He did draw some interest from the Titans, who are always looking to round up ex-Colts.

Josh Thomas - DL - Colts

Colts free agent DE Josh Thomas is due to visit the Titans today.

Jevon Kearse won't be alone in Nashville. Thomas started seven games for the Colts last season, and has become an attractive option for several teams on the market as most of the defensive ends have been swept up in the past week.

Josh Thomas - DL - Colts

Colts DE Josh Thomas will likely start in place of the injured Dwight Freeney over newly signed Simeon Rice in Week 11.

Thomas will likely see more time on first and second downs with the veteran Rice coming in during passing situations to pressure Chiefs QB Brodie Croyle, who is making his first NFL start. DL Raheem Brock (neck) practiced on Wednesday, along with starting LT Tony Ugoh (neck) and LB Freddie Keiaho (ear).
