Saints declared RB Pierre Thomas, QB Ryan Griffin, CB Terrence Frederick, S Isa Abdul-Quddus, LB Keyunta Dawson, DE Tyrunn Walker and WR Nick Toon inactive for the Wild Card round against the Eagles.
Mark Ingram will serve as the Saints' early-down hammer, with Darren Sproles playing an even bigger-than-usual role in the passing game. The nature of Thomas' injury is unknown. He should be considered questionable for a potential Divisional Round game.

Pierre Thomas rushed 10 times for 73 yards in the Saints' Week 12 win over the Falcons, adding five catches for an additional 57 yards.
Thomas did everything but get into the end zone, stiff-arming defenders in the open field, and piling up yards after first contact on nearly every touch. The highlight came early in the third quarter, where Thomas turned a broken screen on a 2nd-and-17 into an 18-yard gain. A quarter later, he gained 16 yards on a 2nd-and-15 from the Saints' own eight-yard line. Thomas entered Week 12 having cleared 80 yards from scrimmage in six straight games, but his 130 total yards this evening were a new season high. He's now up to 56 catches. Thomas is a legitimate RB2 when Darren Sproles isn't in the lineup, and a strong FLEX even when he is.
