Report: Pierre Thomas out 2-3 weeks with shoulder injury

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.

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

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

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

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.
