Former San Francisco 49ers cornerback Ambry Thomas #20 looks on after facing the Los Angeles Rams.

The Minnesota Vikings are gearing up for the postseason, with seeding and the NFC North crown the only stakes remaining in the regular season, and they have added former San Francisco 49ers cornerback Ambry Thomas to the roster to bolster their group.

The Vikings announced the move on December 24, making them Thomas’ third team since December 17, when the 49ers waived him.

He was initially claimed by the Indianapolis Colts but was waived after failing his physical.

“Ambry Thomas hasn’t played at all this year due to injury but he was pretty decent in 2023 as a 2nd year corner,” The Blue Stable’s Landon Oliver posted on X on December 18. “Was PFF’s 33rd overall graded CB in 2023 above names like L’Jarius Sneed, Jaire Alexander, and Denzel Ward. Injuries have plagued his career early on but there is talent.”

A third-round pick by the 49ers in 2021, Ambry has 79 total tackles, 12 pass deflections, 2 interceptions, 1 forced fumble, and 1 recovery in his career.

Thomas was teammates with standout Vikings safety Josh Metellus in college at Michigan.
