ESPN's Jeremy Fowler has reported that Thomas received first team reps during Friday's practice and that Pittsburgh's coaches have told him to be ready "in case they need him" for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

 

better late than never. I hope he sees the field

 

Hopefully we can also see him in some of those packages as well. I suppose that, at this point, he has earned the coaches trust enough to take those reps.



As the article itself states. "Be prepared." Hopefully it does not come to that but if it does, Matthew can come through.

 

You know Williams and Bostic won’t make unharmed through the whole year

 

Trial by fire, I like it.

 

I wonder if this is Butler's answer to the possible threat of Lamar Jackson coming in for some gadget plays? Because you know Jackson is going to make some appearances. Prime time game no less, ratbirds will want to show off their shiny new toy.

 

He can't be any worse than bostic has been

 

At this point we may as well try any and everything.

 

Get him some snaps, what could it hurt? Bostic is a stop gap.

 

Good news. It will be good to see how he does in a proper game. This could be the start of something beautiful. Or if not beautiful, at least something different.

 

If you thinks Bostic has been playing bad..you havent been watching closely... he leads team in tackles and has played "varsity" ball

that being said..I really like Thomas

 

Nice!

I've been jonesing to get him on the field. Bring on that seminole's package.

 

Agreed. For all the complaining, Bostic hasn't been the problem. It's the secondary that has been horrendous since the fourth quarter of the opener. (They were actually decent the first three quarters against the Browns.)

 

I think you nailed it.

 

did you watch bostic the last game? he had a very good game.
