Multiple Nodules: Well, you now have multiple thyroid nodules which statistically suggests a lower (but not zero) risk of malignancy. Sounds like it rather small but sausage shaped. Might consider a followup scan in 3 months to check for change unless you really want a biopsy now. Ultrasound characterization of the nodule can frequently be helpful in deciding need for immediate biopsy.

Probably: If you have a new 2.4 cm right thyroid lesion, biopsy may be considered unless it has completely benign characteristics.
