Thomas was on the field for 23 of the Saints' 61 offensive snaps in Sunday night's loss to the Cowboys, reports ESPN.com, while Khiry Robinson and Travaris Cadet each took 18 snaps apiece. Despite taking the most snaps of any of the team's running backs with Mark Ingram still sidelined with an injury, Thomas was essentially invisible in Dallas, managing a mere four touches (two runs, two receptions), while Robinson led the Saints in rushing yards (87) and carries (eight), as he's done each of the last three weeks. The surprising development, however, was Cadet's involvement in the offense, as he set a career high in snaps, receptions (six) and total yards (60). While Cadet's solid performance may garner him additional playing time going forward, his increase in snaps was likely largely the result of the blowout nature of last week's game. Thomas should be expected to still see the majority of the snaps as long as Ingram is out, as well as remain the primary backfield receiver in New Orleans. Whether he's able to produce in that role, however, is another question, as both Thomas and the Saints' offense have been lethargic through the first quarter of the season.
