New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton told reporters Friday that starting running back Pierre Thomas has been ruled out of this weekend's game against the Arizona Cardinals.

Thomas missed his third day of practice Friday after sitting out last weekend's 16-14 victory over the Carolina Panthers with a left ankle injury.

Fantasy take
Pierre Thomas is ruled out for Week 5, and his replacements might not be more than flex plays. Thomas' absence also could impact Saints receivers' value. More ... "It's not a high ankle sprain. ... It was more of a typical sprain," Payton said, according to the Saints' official website. "It's looking a lot better. He's feeling a lot better. He's doing some light jogging, all those things. I think he's going to have a good shot at playing next week."

I don't think there should be any reason to rush him back for this game in particular, i'm confident that Ivory and Betts can get the job done vs cards, don't wanna rush him back and risk a worse injury. We need pierre for the rest of the season.
