‘No Taunting!’ Juanyeh Pushing for Cowboys Roster Spot

Then on Saturday against the Seattle Seahawks, Thomas had yet another impressive performance but for entirely different reasons. He didn't have an interception this time, but he was still all over the field regardless. Thomas finished the game with seven total tackles, three more than any other Cowboy, and had a pass break up for good measure. 

Despite the strong performance, Thomas did have one serious blunder on Saturday. After the Cowboys got a third-down stop to seemingly force a three and out, Thomas was called for a taunting penalty that extended the Seahawks drive. To make matters worse, Seattle ended up scoring a touchdown later that drive to go up 10-7 in the second quarter.

Thomas will undoubtedly be kicking himself for that mistake for a while to come. However, his strong play otherwise could be enough to give him the benefit of the doubt. The Cowboys are looking for added depth behind their top three safeties of Donovan Wilson, Jayron Kearse and Malik Hooker, and Thomas has been a clear standout during the preseason.

Thomas could potentially cement his roster spot with another strong performance Saturday's preseason finale against the Las Vegas Raiders.
