New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) would face the Chargers if he takes the field for the first time since Week 1. Thomas has gotten in two limited practice sessions after being limited all of last week, so he appears to be following the same practice routine, which ultimately led to him sitting out Week 4. With a Week 6 bye right around the corner, it would make sense for New Orleans to rest their star wideout and then have him at near full strength for the stretch run. If ...

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) and tight endJared Cook (groin) were both limited in Friday's practice. Both players will have one more shot on Saturday to up their practice repetitions before the Saints release their final injury designations ahead of Monday night's contest. At this point, it's looking like both will be game-time decisions, which puts fantasy managers in a bit of a bind. If Thomas and Cook are unable to go, Tre'Quan Smith and Emmanuel Sanders would ...

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) and Jared Cook (groin) were both limited participants on Thursday. Since the Saints play on Monday, this was essentially their first practice day of the week.

Cook was unable to go last week after not being able to practice, so his ability to be limited is a step in ...

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 4 against the Lions. Thomas is getting closer to a return, as he returned to practice this week, but unfortunately for his fantasy managers, he'll miss his third straight game.

He returned to practice on Wednesday in a limited fashion and it's still uncertain as to whether he will play on Sunday. If he does, he's a starter, and if he doesn't, Tre'Quan Smith is a flex option.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) returned to practice on Wednesday after missing the last two games with an ankle sprain. Thomas was moving well during the portion of practice open to the media, but he'll have to prove he's not at risk of aggravating his ankle if he plays in Week 4 against the Lions.
