Michael Thomas suffered a serious ankle injury during the Saints’ season-opening win over the Buccaneers. And while Thomas initially had no idea that if someone missed playing time altogether, the injury was worse than initially thought, According to Tom Paliser of the NFL Network. Palisero has reported that the star receiver will now miss a few weeks.
Thomas was hit on the field late Sunday night by running back Alvin Camara near the goal line in a matchup with Tampa Bay. The 27-year-old was entering 2020 after a record-setting campaign a year ago where he recorded the most receptions (149) in a single season in NFL history. Thomas also led the league with 1,725 yards and added nine touchdowns to his name, placing himself among the best receivers in the game today. It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post.
Of course, this also hurts fictional owners on top of what New Orleans does in crime. If he is limited or forced to lose time, Drew Brace will continue to lean heavily on tight end Jared Cook and run behind Alvin Camara, who gave both of them five receptions in the win. PV receiver Emanuel Sanders – who is in his first season with the Saints – could also be a factor after catching a touchdown from Bryce on Sunday. Keep an eye on receiver Tre’quan Smith to play a bigger role in Thomas’ absence after praising Sean Payton during training camp.
