Thomas began the 2016 season on the active roster and was doing a decent job until he got hurt, but Claude Pelon made the roster ahead of him after a strong preseason. However, Thomas - who also contributes on special teams - will now get his shot.
Pelon would be a candidate for the practice squad if he clears waivers but the Jets haven't announced who will fill the two open spots yet.
Robinson departs just one game after having been claimed from the Vikings during post-cutdown waivers. He did not play any defensive snaps on Sunday.
