Browns raise Thomas’ total pay by $3 million

-

Injured Pro Bowl tackle Joe Thomas received a $3 million raise from the Cleveland Browns.

Thomas recently had surgery for a season-ending triceps injury. A team spokesman said Saturday that the Browns had agreed to the pay bump before Thomas, a 10-time Pro Bowler, was injured and they’ll stick to their plan.

Thomas will get a $1.5 million roster bonus this season and a $1.5 million increase to his 2018 salary, pushing it to $10.3 million.

Thomas originally signed a sevenyear, $80.5 million deal through the 2018 season.

Before having surgery, Thomas said he would wait until after the season before deciding if he would continue playing.

■ Chiefs: Kansas City activated linebacker Tamba Hali from the physically unable to perform list, though it’s uncertain whether the five-time Pro Bowl selection will play Sunday in Dallas.

Hali, 34, missed the entire offseason program and training camp to rest and rehabilita­te his ailing knees. He practiced for the first time Thursday and was taken off the PUP list Saturday.

His return could help a pass rush

that has struggled much of the season, and will be without Dee Ford against the Cowboys because of a back injury.

■ Colts: Indianapol­is will be missing starting cornerback Vontae Davis on Sunday in Houston.

Team officials announced that Davis did not make the trip because of a non-injury-related issue. No additional details were given.

Davis, a two-time Pro Bowler, was not listed on the injury report this week. There were rumors earlier in the week that Davis might be dealt before Tuesday’s trade deadline, but no move was made.

■ 49ers: San Francisco activated defensive lineman Ronald Blair and promoted offensive lineman Darrell Williams Jr. from the practice squad.

The 49ers placed receiver Pierre Garcon on injured reserve and released offensive lineman Bryce Harris to make room on the roster.

Blair played 16 games as a rookie last season but has been out since training camp with a hand injury.

■ Giants: New York placed starting center Weston Richburg on injured reserve with a concussion.

The Giants announced that Richburg would miss his fourth straight game. Bret Jones has started for Richburg since he was hurt.
