Saints running back Pierre Thomas suffered a shoulder injury Sunday that may sideline him.

Thomas is expected to miss two or three weeks, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

The shoulder injury took place during Sunday’s loss to the Lions, a loss that was costly for New Orleans on the injury front: center Jonathan Goodwin suffered a leg injury, defensive end Glenn Foster had a knee injury and nose tackle Brodrick Bunkley had a head injury.

The versatile Thomas is third on the team in rushing with 133 yards and third on the team in receiving with 26 catches. The 2-3 week timeframe would put Thomas out for Sunday night’s game against the Packers and next Thursday’s game against the Panthers, as well as possibly the following week’s game against the 49ers.

Just want to point out that one word in the quote I put in red

Re: PT Out 2 to 3 weeks
 

Common sense would be to feed Ingram and Robinson. So, Cadet will see 75 percent of the snaps.

Re: PT Out 2 to 3 weeks
 

Good thing Green Bay's rush d is turrible.

Rest up PT we'll need you for the division run!

Re: PT Out 2 to 3 weeks
 

It looked a lot worse than just a 2 or 3 week sideline...

Re: PT Out 2 to 3 weeks
 

No worries, feed Ingram (10 carries for 16 yards) beastmode, lol.

Re: PT Out 2 to 3 weeks
 

Well, Ingram should be rested. He just had like 4 weeks off.

Re: PT Out 2 to 3 weeks
 

Ingram and Robinson can make up the slack in rushing touches, though neither of them are as dependable in the pass game or ball security than PT.

Re: PT Out 2 to 3 weeks
 

****!

Re: PT Out 2 to 3 weeks
 

And this is exactly why you don't overdo it with PT. He's just not built for the extra touches.

I think the plan all a long with PT was limited touches and we'd have him healthy for 16 weeks plus the playoffs.

Unfortunately our crappy start combined with Ingram's injury forced us to use Mr Reliable a tad too much.

Re: PT Out 2 to 3 weeks
 

Its not like we are making a playoff run so we don't need him that much

Re: PT Out 2 to 3 weeks
 

Aw, come on, now...we can't bury them for 2-4 overall & 1-1 in this trash can division just yet.

I'm riding this Saints train for a playoff run...so who's coming with me?

Re: PT Out 2 to 3 weeks
 

Next victim up?

Re: PT Out 2 to 3 weeks
 

I hope your train doesn't derail.

Re: PT Out 2 to 3 weeks
 

Wow...thanks?

Re: PT Out 2 to 3 weeks
 

We can do it......but the question is will we?

Re: PT Out 2 to 3 weeks
 

and k. robs fumble and payton's unforgiveness in that dept. just killed P.T. with the overload in carries,. not counting ingrams fat ass after being off 4 weeks. i'm just playing but mark looked fat and gasping which he should be after that vacation.:broccoli:

Re: PT Out 2 to 3 weeks
 

Khiry didn't practice today either with a forearm injury

Looks like the reigns are all Ingrams

Re: PT Out 2 to 3 weeks
 

It's only Wednesday, probably just getting some rest...

Re: PT Out 2 to 3 weeks
 

not good not good at all.

not now.
Green Bay Packers
Carolina Panthers

and maybe?
San Francisco 49ers
Cincinnati Bengals

grrrrrrrrrr

Re: PT Out 2 to 3 weeks
 

Is that the same guy that said Jimmy would be our for 3 weeks ?

Re: PT Out 2 to 3 weeks
 

And Khiry now has... (GASP)... a fumbling problem.

Re: PT Out 2 to 3 weeks
 

Aw, to be fair to Khiry, he has fumbled once (1 time) in 118 attempts over the last 2 years. You can't charge the man with that one on the last play razzle-dazzle desperation play a few weeks ago.

Also, 118 attempts and he's rocking a 4.7 yard per carry. Not too shabby.

If you were being sarcastic, I completely approve.

Re: PT Out 2 to 3 weeks
 

In my opinion we really miss Darren Sproles. I liked Strozier better than Cadet. I'm not sure Cadet has one run between the tackles. Doesn't that make us very prefictable when he's in? I hope PT recovers soon.
