Michael Thomas, Marshon Lattimore Not Expected To Return This Week
11 months ago
New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen said he doesn't expect the team to open the practice windows for wide receiver Michael Thomas (knee) or cornerback Marshon Lattimore (ankle) this week. It means that neither player is going to return from Injured Reserve to play in the team's Week 16 contest on Thursday Night Football against the Los Angeles Rams. Both Thomas and Lattimore are in the rehab process and don't have a firm timetable for a return. Thomas has spent the required four games on IR but won't be able to return until the Week 17 contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Christmas Eve at the earliest. Lattimore is set to miss his fifth straight game as well this week. If Chris Olave (ankle) misses his second straight game on Thursday, Rashid Shaheed and rookie A.T. Perry will once again operate as the team's top two wideouts.
