Michael Thomas has injury setback, return to the Saints is still unclear
 

The Michael Thomas saga took a new turn this week, as the New Orleans Saints star receiver has a new issue with his injured ankle, according to an NFL Network report.

Thomas recently saw a specialist for his injured ankle, according to the report.

He has been on the Physically Unable to Perform list since the start of training camp after he underwent surgery on his ankle shortly before the start of the season. Thomas was eligible to return to the Saints two weeks ago, but he has not yet practiced, the team has provided no details about his potential return, and this latest setback could potentially result in more time out.

Has DeSean Jackson cleared waivers...seriously...

Re: Michael Thomas Update
 

Hopefully, he's not renting that same LA mansion for his rehab locale.

I like Michael Thomas. I really do. But I am now concerned that this is becoming the kind of injury you just never really get past.

Saints need to bring someone in and the guys on the roster better recognize an opportunity when it presents itself. One of them has the chance to claim the #1 WR spot.

Re: Michael Thomas has injury setback, return to the Saints is still unclear
 

Need to trade Mike next year and get something for him. He can go the way of other cast offs that make their money in Payton’s system only to leave and washout everywhere else.

What a head case he turned into in such a short time. The guy came in humble and hungry, but as soon as he got paid he was completely different.

Doubt we see him suit up again as a saint.

Re: Michael Thomas has injury setback, return to the Saints is still unclear
 

And now he’s out for the season.

Re: Michael Thomas has injury setback, return to the Saints is still unclear
 

This guy.
This guy that waited until the start of the season to have surgery.
This guy didn't return phone calls from the Saints coaches and Front Office.



I think I hate this guy.

Re: Michael Thomas has injury setback, return to the Saints is still unclear
 

I have been telling friends for a few weeks that I don't think Thomas will ever be healthy again. Nagging ankle issues, trying to play through them, delayed surgery, delayed recovery, disputes with team... We might as well resign Cameron Meredith, place him on IR, and circle the date of his return on the calendar with all our hopes and dreams.

Also I think there is one team that would be willing to trade for Michael Thomas at this point. The Raiders are willing to do an even swap for Henry Ruggs.

Re: Michael Thomas has injury setback, return to the Saints is still unclear
 

We should have traded for a receiver.

Re: Michael Thomas has injury setback, return to the Saints is still unclear
 

Knowing the setback, they should of tried harder trying to get someone before the deadline

Re: Michael Thomas has injury setback, return to the Saints is still unclear
 

Knowing Thomas he waited until after the deadline to announce it just to be a dick. Wouldn’t surprise me in the least.

Re: Michael Thomas has injury setback, return to the Saints is still unclear
 

Maybe but I’m sure they had a good idea something wasn’t right with him or the rehab.

Re: Michael Thomas has injury setback, return to the Saints is still unclear
 

Yep. Otherwise they would have removed him from the PUP. That is why they tried to get a WR yesterday.

Re: Michael Thomas has injury setback, return to the Saints is still unclear
 

Who?

Re: Michael Thomas has injury setback, return to the Saints is still unclear
 

Or perhaps drafting a WR three seasons ago?

I get it going “safe” with olineman early but you also need playmakers at skilled positions. 2022 draft needs to focus more on the wideout spot.

We don’t have a #1 or legit 2 on the roster.

Re: Michael Thomas has injury setback, return to the Saints is still unclear
 

Odell B Jr.

Re: Michael Thomas has injury setback, return to the Saints is still unclear
 

Saints were in the loop. They couldn't justify the price tags for the WR trade attempts yesterday. This is a BB type of move, and a smart one as well. We'll have bigger cap space next year for bigger moves.

Re: Michael Thomas has injury setback, return to the Saints is still unclear
 

I agree, they had that Drew had turned no named guys into solid guys mentality and got complacent. Now it’s biting them in the ass. Should of been drafted a receiver or two the past couple of years, knowing a twilight Drew needed actual talented receivers.



I’m going to be honest and people might not like this take but the saints have some blame in this too. Having him in a game in garbage time to get this injury in the first place. That game was over and you got your starters out there. And this medical staff is still questionable with these injuries we’ve been having seems to get worse every year. Guys out for long periods of time

Trade for what? A shrimp po-boy and a bag of Chee-Weez?

He is injured. An injured player has no value. Clearly this isn't a situation where rubbing some dirt on it will make it better.

And Darius Slayton from the NY Giants.

Re: Michael Thomas has injury setback, return to the Saints is still unclear
 

I don't care if the Saints trade MT, just get him off the team and be done. The Saints can go another year without a high price QB so if MT creates dead cap space then no problem.

Re: Michael Thomas has injury setback, return to the Saints is still unclear
 

According to the extensive research I spent 5 minutes on, the Saints have less than one million left under the Cap. Any trade they attempted needed to include the other team eating a significant amount of money. I’m guessing they wanted extra draft compensation for that. That’s probably why they could not get a deal done.

Re: Michael Thomas has injury setback, return to the Saints is still unclear
 

two years essentially unproductive. After getting a MONSTER contract. terrible timing. Anyone else a bit unimpressed?

Re: Michael Thomas has injury setback, return to the Saints is still unclear
 

Now he can enjoy eating sammiches with Peat and Lutz!

Re: Michael Thomas has injury setback, return to the Saints is still unclear
 

I’m going through the stages of grief and guessing I’m stuck in anger now, so I’m gonna pre-apologize here for my “attack” on him...But i’d like to see Guido eat all the lines he made criticizing those of us questioning the overall handling of the situation. All his water under the bridge and let it go and You’ll be sorry when he’s balling and wanna bet comments should be mandatory “poster board” material for all B&G members!

Re: Michael Thomas has injury setback, return to the Saints is still unclear
 

Well today is National Sammich Day!

Re: Michael Thomas has injury setback, return to the Saints is still unclear
 

Nice! It’s cool how they have a sandwich that represents the areas people live in. Up here it’s a lobster roll. Down there it’s a shrimp po-boy. Back in California it’s...well, they just put Avocado on whatever sandwich you have and call it Californian.

Re: Michael Thomas has injury setback, return to the Saints is still unclear
 

What's done is done. We have nothing less than we had last week, other than Winston, of course. It is indeed water under the bridge. Although, if dwelling on something that we have no control over as fans makes you feel better ... then dwell away!

:D

I for one am looking forward to our run to the playoffs.

Who Dat!

Odell Beckham might be released soon. It’s time for him to come home.

Re: Michael Thomas has injury setback, return to the Saints is still unclear
 

We're pretty low on the waiver list. That's the curse of having one of the better records in the league.

Hi junior, welcome back 😆😅🤣
