"After the season it was decided that he was gonna treat that conservatively. And I think we all had an expectation that [the ankle] would heal and he'd be fine coming into camp this year," Saints general manager Mickey Loomis said Wednesday. "But we get to the minicamp, and obviously it wasn't quite right. So we had to make the call and collectively made the call to have the surgery in June.

"Obviously with hindsight we would've preferred that surgery to be earlier in February or March. But it wasn't. You know, it is what it is. And hopefully he's had a good result so far, and hopefully we'll get him back sooner rather than later."

It sounds like no one was that concerned until minicamp and June was the earliest chance based upon the "wait and see" approach that was agreed upon by all.

Spin it any way you'd like, Michael Thomas still blew off follow up appointment(s) with the doctor that was monitoring the injury...

You know that for a fact? I haven't seen anywhere that stated he "blew off follow up appointment(s)" with the doctor that was personally monitoring his injury.

Could you please post your source? Do you know this doctor? Any documentation of said appointment(s)? Did the doctor break HIPPA rules discussing the treatment and/or follow up?

Really wanting to see your proof. This could blow the roof off everything if you truly have a scoop!

Try as you might, you'll never get my source(s)...

Secondly, there was no follow up until the pre-camp eval, so there's your corroboration...

Fictional.

No. You said he "blew off follow up appointment(s)" with the doctor that was personally monitoring his injury. My question is, unless you are involved in HIPPA compliance violations how would you know that there were scheduled appointments to "blow off". The fact that there was no follow-up until pre-camp corroborates nothing. Where is the proof of scheduled appointments being "blown off"?

Kinda like you spreading the rumor Russell Wilson food poison or covid related matter.....
