Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports Saints WR Michael Thomas suffered a high ankle injury during Sunday’s game against the Buccaneers, but it’s something he believes he can play through.
Pelissero notes that the Saints will have an extra day of rest, given that they’re scheduled to play the Raiders next Monday. As of now, the Saints are not ruling Thomas out for Week.
Ian Rapoport expects the Saints to list Thomas as questionable this week.
Thomas sustained the injury in the fourth quarter after he was rolled up on a bit.
Thomas, 27, was drafted by the Saints in the second round out of Ohio State in 2016. He was entering the final year of a four-year, $5.118 million rookie contract when he agreed to a five-year, $100 million extension last July.
In 2020, Thomas has appeared in one game for the Saints and caught three passes for 17 yards receiving and no touchdowns.
