Ankle injury
#Saints star WR Michael Thomas’ high-ankle injury is worse than originally believed, and he’s now expected to miss several weeks, sources tell me and @RapSheet.
Thomas is as tough as they come and surely will try to defy that timeline. But it’ll be a battle. (Tom Pelissero on Twitter)
Nerdy Football Analysis: Thomas is a fantasy stud that can’t be replaced. It won’t be surprising if the team puts Thomas on the three-week injured reserved. Without Thomas, Tre’Quan Smith could see some increased playing time but targets typically headed to Thomas will likey be spread around to Kamara, Emmanuel Sanders and Jared Cook.
