Pierre Thomas , fractured ribs
Pierre Thomas revealed Monday that he has three fractured ribs, but plans to play through the injury in the postseason.
Thomas did get Week 17 off, and the Saints' first-round bye certainly won't hurt his chances. His plan is to wear a flak jacket to cover the ribs. The Saints will push Thomas to play because Mike Bell is struggling badly, and Lynell Hamilton and Reggie Bush aren't carry-the-load options. Still, opponents will be gunning for his abdomen after he let this cat out of the bag. Source: Jeff Duncan on Twitter |

Big loss IMO. Time for Reggie to light up, and we know he can.

Re: Pierre Thomas , fractured ribs
Didn't he have fractured ribs a couple years ago when he tore up the Bears for like 250 total yards?

Re: Pierre Thomas , fractured ribs
he may want them to think it will affect him, and let them gun for his bad side then he'll just put his move on there ass and take off. there are different types of fractures, i know they all hurt but he probably has micro fractures which he can still play. hamilton been doing just fine lately holding onto the ball also
