Ok "nearing a projected recover time"

Just like some were reporting that Landry, MT & Olave would quite "possibly" be back for the Cincy game.

If you expect him back by the Raiders game, go right ahead with that thought process. 99.9% of us aren't holding our breath on the availability of Mike Thomas anymore.

The Saints are decimated by injuries & it could get worse.

Practice squad guys & 4th, and 5th stringers are a recipe for an L on Sundays.

FYI, Andy Dalton has a back injury.

Per Nick Underhill.

Ice up AD.

The NFL is and always has been a tough business.

The Saints have waived WR Kawaan Baker, who just finished a 6-game suspension. The Chiefs have waived DB Dicaprio Bootle.

Baker was a seventh-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. He was told before the 2022 season began that he was getting suspended for six games.
Baker will now go on waivers where teams will have a chance to claim him. If he goes unclaimed the Saints have the opportunity to re-sign him to the practice squad.

According to Kat Terrell they decided NOT to put Thomas on IR three weeks ago when they determined it was projected to be a four week recovery time therefore it had to have been a grade two turf toe. She said they said they wanted to keep him active just in case he could return earlier. Four weeks will be this next weekend. His targeted return should be the Raiders game in week 8 according to that timetable.

Why put him on IR now when he should be nearing the projected recovery time for that injury?

Put the prima donna out to pasture with my cow. grade 2 turf toe; grade a milk.... lmao. Thomas is gone. All That Money... just sitting the bench and scratching his ass.

When you get older things go out on you easier. It is definitely harder to stay on the field and contribute when you've got a bad back. It's hard to get up off the couch much less evading defensive linemen or blitzers and twisting your body to throw a tight spiral.
