Thomas (hamstring/ankle) missed practice again Friday, putting his status in serious doubt for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After missing three games with a high-ankle sprain and one game for disciplinary reasons, Thomas looks bound for another absence, this time because of a hamstring injury suffered in Wednesday's practice. Even though he missed the Saints' final two practices of the week, Thomas could still be listed as questionable on the final injury report, which will be released later Friday.
