Coach Dennis Allen said Friday that Thomas (foot) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas has missed three straight practice since suffering a foot injury Week 3, and the Saints will focus on his health with the hope of having the veteran standout back in action Week 5 against the Seahawks. Quarterback Jameis Winston (back/ankle/hip) is considered doubtful, according to Allen, so it looks as though New Orleans will go with Andy Dalton under center Sunday, with Chris Olave and Jarvis Landry (ankle) acting as his top wideouts.

Thomas (foot) wasn't present at the start of Friday's practice, Rod Walker of The Times-Picayune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas and quarterback Jameis Winston (back/hip/ankle) both appear to be missing their third consecutive practice and thus are trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's game against Minnesota. The Saints' official Friday injury report will provide Thomas and Winston with game designations, but if both are unavailable it will fall to Chris Olave and Jarvis Landry (ankle) to operate as the top wideouts for Andy Dalton.

Thomas (foot) was listed as a non-participant in Thursday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

For the second day in a row, neither Thomas nor quarterback Jameis Winston (back/ankle/hip) logged any practice activity, putting the statuses of arguably the two most important players in the New Orleans passing game in question as Sunday's game against the Vikings in London approaches. The Saints will decide after Friday's practice whether to give Thomas a designation heading into the weekend, and if the wideout is ultimately sidelined Sunday, Chris Olave and Jarvis Landry (ankle) would likely serve as the clear top two wideouts for New Orleans.

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

EDGE Analysis

Thomas and quarterback Jameis Winston (back/ankle/hip) both appear to be sitting out a second consecutive practice. The wideout will still have one more chance to log some amount of practice activity ahead of Sunday's contest against Minnesota in London. He may need to practice in at least a limited capacity Friday to have a realistic shot at playing against the Vikings.

Thomas didn't practice Wednesday due to a foot injury.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas left the Saints' Week 3 loss to the Panthers with what the Saints described as a foot injury, but Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Monday that the wide receiver instead was dealing with a toe issue and was slated for additional testing on the appendage. The Saints are still labeling the health concern as a foot injury in the meantime, and Thomas will have opportunities to get on the practice field Thursday and Friday. After that, the team may provide some clarity on his odds to play Sunday against the Vikings in London.

Thomas (toe) wasn't spotted on the field during the early portion of Wednesday's practice, Stacey Dales of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas and quarterback Jameis Winston (back/ankle) both appear to be sitting out New Orleans' first practice session in London. Both offensive playmakers will have two more chances to increase their participation levels before Sunday's game against Minnesota. Thomas is believed to have avoided a long-term injury, but his status for the Week 4 matchup remains unclear.

Thomas (toe) will undergo further testing Monday, but the Saints believe he has avoided a serious injury, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas' current injury isn't on the same limb as his previous ankle issue, and the veteran wideout secured all five of his targets for 49 yards before exiting Sunday's loss to the Panthers. The Saints appear to have gotten lucky with both the veteran wideouts that left Week 3 early, as Jarvis Landry (ankle) is believed to be dealing with nothing more than soreness. New Orleans will continue to monitor Thomas throughout the week, with a Week 4 matchup against the Vikings in London on deck.

Coach Dennis Allen said that Thomas (foot) will be evaluated throughout the week as the Saints prepare for their Week 4 game against the Vikings in London, John SIgler of USA Today Saints Wire reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas was one of three Saints wide receivers to exit early against the Panthers, as Jarvis Landry hurt his ankle and Tre'Quan Smith was concussed. Fantasy managers who roster Thomas should pay careful attention to his practice participation level during the week.

Thomas suffered a foot injury during Sunday's game at Carolina, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas paid a visit to the sideline tent, then tested out his legs on the sideline before going back to the tent. Shortly thereafter, he made his way to the locker room, at which point the nature of the injury become known. Fellow wide receiver Jarvis Landry also left Sunday's outing with an ankle injury, so the Saints' available wide receivers down the stretch are Chris Olave, Marquez Callaway and Tre'Quan Smith.

Thomas brought in six of nine targets for 65 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' 20-10 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Thomas paced the Saints in receptions on the afternoon, and he salvaged his fantasy day with a late seven-yard touchdown grab, already his third touchdown on the campaign. Two games in, Thomas looks to be at full health following a missed 2021 season due to his troublesome ankle, but it remains to be seen if it will be Jameis Winston, who is reportedly playing through multiple back fractures, or Andy Dalton throwing him the ball in a Week 3 road divisional matchup versus the Panthers next Sunday.
