Zimmer reportedly threatened to cut Floyd if he was lying.
How he would determine that I don't know.
With regard to Thomas status vs Cooper vs Spruce. ..
Sometimes situation like this mainly gives bubble guy s at same position or another two weeks on the roster before he's moved to the practice squad.
It might allow them to keep every body else that would have made the final cut plus one guy.
Usually they'll give 1 roster exempt spot.
So technically Thomas wouldn't exist vs the 53 or practice squad numbers until wk 3.
It will be up to the Rams to decide where they go with that extra spot.
Be it an Extra linebacker, an extra WR or whatever.
Then they could trade a vet or move a free agent(maybe one of those two fast NW Lousiana kids at RB or WR ) to the practice squad when Thomas becomes eligible to get back to 53 besides moving Thomas by trade or moving him out on waivers.
He would also be eligible. For PS
.
Thomas is probably the 2nd ~3rd fastest Wr they have lucky for him.
This means little to most except the extra guy they keep.
Given that extra could be Cooper it might give them time to process a trade away of him just as well as Thomas at 3rd wk.
Considering Cooper's poor speed and inconsistent hands don't make him a certainty for the final 53 it may also give him a extended chance to stay with the Rams instead of becoming a piece. Of driftwood early in his NFL career.
Regardless of all this Thomas has to clean up whatever caused the positive Test.
Good luck to him and it's a shame this happened when he had made a positive impression to New staff in OT' s.
Oh well.
