Julius Thomas will always remember the 5-yard reception against the Cincinnati Bengals as his first NFL catch, but it also left him with a rookie season filled with frustration.

Because that play, and the right ankle injury that came with it after a tackle by Bengals linebacker Manny Lawson in September, derailed Thomas' season and resulted in him having surgery this past week to repair ligament damage.
