Thomas (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas maintained his activity level from Wednesday, which marked his first work on the practice field since he suffered a high left ankle sprain Week 1. He'll look to put in a full session Friday, but even if he doesn't Thomas is trending in the right direction for a return to action Sunday at Detroit.

Thomas (ankle) was limited in practice Wednesday, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

EDGE Analysis

As Thomas works to get back into game shape, he attended and took part in his first official practice Wednesday since sustaining a high left ankle sprain Week 1 against the Buccaneers. Since then, he's been focusing on rehab and even looked good in a workout last Friday. Still, Thomas has two more days to prove the health of his ankle once and for all with a full showing, before the Saints decide on his status for Sunday's game against the Lions.

Thomas (ankle) took part in Wednesday's practice, Katherine Terrell of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Absent the past two games due to a high left ankle sprain suffered in the Saints' season opener, Thomas is getting his ducks in a row as he prepares to return to action, potentially Sunday in Detroit. To that end, he was "moving really well" during a workout last Friday, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Though Thomas has now taken another step forward by getting back on the practice field, it's unclear how much he was able to participate Wednesday.

Thomas (ankle) was "moving really well" during his Friday workout and hopes to play next weekend against the Lions, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Saints' star wideout is dealing with a high ankle sprain and won't play Sunday night against the Packers, but he'll look to gain clearance from the team's training staff this coming week. Thomas hasn't practiced since suffering his injury during Week 1 action.

The Saints ruled out Thomas (ankle) for Sunday's game against the Packers, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

On the other side of the ball, Green Bay has given Davante Adams (hamstring) a 'doubtful' designation. It appears both teams will be without their star wide receivers Week 3, and in the Saints' case, they'll rely on Emmanuel Sanders, Tre'Quan Smith, Deonte Harris and Marquez Callaway to keep the offense moving Sunday.

Thomas (ankle) was held out of practice Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

For the second straight day, Thomas was listed as a non-participant, but on this occasion the Saints actually took the field without the wide receiver. He'll have one more opportunity to get in some practice reps before the team will assign a designation for a Week 3 showdown with the Packers. If Thomas is unable to suit up again, the Saints will rely on Emmanuel Sanders and Tre'Quan Smith as their top two WR, with Deonte Harris and Marquez Callaway filling in on occasion.

Thomas (ankle) wasn't present for the portion of Thursday's practice open to the media, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

EDGE Analysis

If Thomas indeed doesn't participate Thursday, it'll mark his second session in a row without any activity. He was given a timeline of 2-to-4 weeks to recover from the left high ankle sprain suffered in the season opener, so another DNP this Sunday versus the Packers won't surprise in the least. Thomas' official activity level will be known later Thursday afternoon.

Thomas (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas was given a 2-to-4 week timetable to return based off his Week 1 high-ankle sprain, so it's no surprise that he's not potentially on the practice field just yet. While the Saints have two days of prep to go this week, it'll be mildly shocking if Thomas joins his teammates Thursday or Friday. If he does, though, he could begin putting himself in a position to play as soon as Sunday night against the Packers.

Thomas (ankle), who has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Raiders, has been given an estimated recovery timeline of 2-to-4 weeks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas was handed that timeline after recently receiving a second opinion on the high left ankle sprain he sustained in the Saints' season-opening win over the Buccaneers. While Thomas is seemingly in jeopardy of missing the Saints' Week 3 matchup with the Packers, Jay Glazer reported on Fox NFL Sunday earlier in the day that the star wideout is healing quicker than anticipated, giving him some hope of missing just one game due to the injury. Thomas' activity (or lack thereof) in practices Wednesday through Friday should provide a better idea regarding which direction he's trending heading into the game against Green Bay.

Thomas remains out for Monday's game against the Raiders, but his left high-ankle sprain is healing quicker than expected, Jay Glazer reported on "Fox NFL Sunday."

EDGE Analysis

Thomas's availability for next week's game against the Packers remains in question, but there's at least a glimmer of hope for the near future. The Saints are expected to rely on Alvin Kamara, Emmanuel Sanders and Jared Cook as their primary pass catchers Week 2.
