Michael Thomas Dealing With Significant Injury

Michael Thomas Dealing With Significant Injury

one year ago

New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen said that wide receiver Michael Thomas (knee) suffered a "fairly significant" knee injury in the Week 10 loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. A week after not catching a single pass in Week 9, Thomas caught one of his two targets for a nine-yard gain against Minnesota before leaving the game and never returning. The Saints have a well-timed bye in Week 11, but if the 30-year-old's injury is serious enough, he might not be ready to return in Week 12 to take on the Atlanta Falcons on Nov. 26. Rasheed Shaheed and rookie A.T. Perry would both take on bigger roles in the Saints' passing attack behind Chris Olave if Thomas is forced to miss any time coming out of the bye week.
