Out another week
The Saints ruled out Thomas (hamstring/ankle) for Sunday's game against the Panthers.
Analysis: Thomas started the week as a limited participant but was then held out of practice Thursday and Friday. The lack of activity the past two days isn't a great sign for his Week 8 status, though the Saints haven't determined anything beyond Sunday. With Emmanuel Sanders landing on the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday, Tre'Quan Smith is set up as the team's No. 1 receiver for Week 7, while Deonte Harris and Marquez Callaway also could see a few targets. The team likely will call up a wide receiver from…read more

Not looking good for Sunday
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.
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.

Held out of practice Thursday
Thomas (ankle/hamstring) didn't practice Thursday.
Analysis: This week, Thomas has only been seen at the start of Wednesday's practice before walking off the field with a member of the Saints' training staff. After being listed as limited on the first Week 7 report with ankle and hamstring issues, he now has a DNP to his name, which isn't a great sign for his first appearance since Week 1. Ultimately, what Thomas is able to do Friday, if anything, may determine his status for Sunday's game against the Panthers. If he's absent, Emmanuel Sanders and Alvin…read more

Not seen at practice
Thomas (hamstring/ankle) wasn't spotted Thursday during the open portion of the Saints' practice, Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Unless Thomas fits in some work in the portion of the practice closed to the media, the wideout looks like he'll go down as a non-participant on the Saints' injury report. Though head coach Sean Payton said Wednesday that Thomas won't face any further discipline after he was held out of the team's Week 5 win over the Chargers following an altercation with a teammate, the wideout's health remains uncertain. Thomas had been sidelined for Weeks 2 through 4 with a left high-ankle sprain, but the…read more

Hamstring injury surfaces
Thomas (ankle/hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Thomas sat out Weeks 2 through 4 due to a high-ankle sprain before missing the Saints' Week 5 win over the Chargers for disciplinary reasons. Coming off a Week 6 bye, Thomas appears to have picked up a hamstring injury. Per Mike Triplett of ESPN.com, coach Sean Payton confirmed the Saints are no longer disciplining Thomas, but Payton declined to state whether the star wideout is on track to play in Sunday's game against the Panthers. It's at least noteworthy that health is now the only thing…read more

Misses open portion of practice
Thomas (ankle) didn't participate in the portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Analysis: Underhill noted Thomas was present at the start of the session, but he eventually left the field with a member of the Saints' training staff. Earlier Wednesday, coach Sean Payton told Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune that the Saints are no longer disciplining Thomas, but the coach was unsure whether the wide receiver will be available for Sunday's game against the Panthers. It appears Thomas' left ankle still may be bothering him, but confirmation likely won't come until the…read more

No longer facing team discipline
Coach Sean Payton said Wednesday that Thomas (ankle) is no longer facing discipline from the team, but the wideout's availability for Sunday's game against the Panthers has yet to be confirmed, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Analysis: Thomas hasn't played since Week 1, when he suffered an ankle injury. He then appeared to be on track to return to action in Week 5 against the Chargers, but he was held out for disciplinary reasons after being involved in a practice altercation with teammate C.J. Gardner-Johnson. Added clarity with regard to Thomas' chances of playing Sunday should arrive upon the release of the Saints' initial Week 7 injury report later Wednesday.

DNP not injury-related Week 5
The Saints ruled out Thomas (ankle) for Monday's game versus the Chargers due to a non-injury-related reason.
Analysis: When word trickled out that Thomas wasn't returning Week 5 after being listed as limited on injury reports Thursday through Saturday, it was believed to be tied to his left high ankle sprain. Instead, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports Thomas had "an altercation with a teammate at practice" this weekend. Thomas thus has been disciplined by the Saints, leaving his next potential game Oct. 25 against the Panthers. In the short term, New Orleans will turn to wide receivers Emmanuel Sanders, Tre'Quan…read more

Won't return Week 5
The Saints have ruled out Thomas (ankle) for Monday's contest against the Chargers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Even if the Saints likely believe he can handle the rigors of a game at the moment, keeping Thomas on the sideline for a fourth consecutive game seems like a prudent one with a Week 6 bye on tap. He'll thus have two more weeks to get past the high left ankle sprain that he sustained in the regular-season opener, with an eye toward returning Sunday, Oct. 25 versus the Panthers. On Monday, New Orleans will roll with Emmanuel Sanders, Tre'Quan Smith, Marquez Callaway and Bennie Fowler at wide…read more

Trending toward Monday start
Thomas (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's contest against the Chargers, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Analysis: Things finally appear to be trending in a positive direction as Katherine Terrell of The Athletic thinks Thomas will inevitably suit up against the Chargers after a three-week absence. It's worth noting the 27-year-old was also a limited participant in practice all last week before eventually being ruled out, although the Saints have seemingly been operating with a three-week timetable ever since the injury occurred. Unfortunately fantasy managers likely won't have complete confidence inserting…read more

Limited in practice again
Thomas (ankle) was a limited practice participant Friday, Rod Walker of The Times-Picayune reports.
Analysis: Thomas was limited in each practice last week and seems to be following the same routine ahead of Monday's matchup with the Chargers. A full practice Saturday would set him up for a likely return, while another limited session could correspond with a questionable tag and a game-time decision. Thomas was ruled out on the Friday injury report last week, so it would be a sign of progress if he's listed as questionable this time around, even if he doesn't end up playing.

Still limited at practice
Thomas (ankle) was limited at practice Thursday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Analysis: Thomas maintained his activity from last week, but with a bit more time to prepare with a Monday night game on tap, he seems to be trending toward a return to action against the Chargers. He'll have two more chances to work in full before the Saints post their final Week 5 injury report Saturday.

Thomas (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Detroit, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Analysis: Thomas was a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday, potentially setting him up for a return Week 5 against the Chargers on Monday Night Football. His Saints will first take on a major challenge, as TE Jared Cook (groin) and four other starters also have been ruled out for Sunday in Detroit. The Saints have been using Tre'Quan Smith, Emmanuel Sanders and Deonte Harris as their main grouping for three-wide formations, with Bennie Fowler also chipping in the occasional snap.

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.

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

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

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.

No practice reps Thursday
Thomas (ankle) was held out of practice Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
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.

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

Listed as DNP on Wednesday
Thomas (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Analysis: Thomas was given a 2-to-4 week timetable to return after suffering a high-ankle sprain Week 1, so it's no surprise that he's not back 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 against the Packers.

Facing 2-to-4-week timeline
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.
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.

Small chance to play Monday
Thomas (ankle) "felt fantastic" Thursday and there remains a "little glimmer of hope" he can play Monday at Las Vegas, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The 27-year-old was expected to miss several weeks after testing earlier this week showed his high-ankle sprain was worse than expected, but he's apparently made significant progress over the past couple days. Thomas didn't participate at Thursday's practice despite the improvement, but he has two more days to return to the field in some capacity. He still seems unlikely to be available for Week 2, but his outlook for the near future appears better than previously believed.

Injury worse than expected
Thomas is expected to miss several weeks after tests revealed that his high-ankle sprain is worse than expected, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: There were rumbles that Thomas may play through this injury, but those rumors have essentially been put to rest. If his injury is indeed serious enough to keep him out for multiple games, Thomas could be placed on IR, which would keep him out for at least three games. Emmanuel Sanders should be considered the Saints' No. 1 WR for the duration of Thomas' absence, and Tre'Quan Smith should enjoy an increase in usage as well.

Diagnosed with high-ankle sprain
Thomas suffered a high-ankle sprain during Sunday's 34-23 win over the Buccaneers, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Thomas reportedly believes the injury is something he can play through, so he can't yet be ruled out for next Monday's tilt in Las Vegas, but high-ankle issues have a notorious tendency to linger and curtail fantasy production. The superstar wideout was held to just three catches for 17 yards Week 1. If Thomas indeed is hampered for the near future or even forced to miss time, the Saints will count on Emmanuel Sanders and Tre'Quan Smith to pick up the slack at wide receiver.

Injures ankle in win
Thomas caught three of five targets for 17 yards before injuring his ankle late in Sunday's 34-23 win over the Buccaneers, Mike Florio of NBC Sports reports.
Analysis: A disappointing day for the receiver potentially got worse when Alvin Kamara rolled up on his lower leg in garbage time. Thomas was able to hobble off the field under his own power and appeared to be OK in the locker room after the win, but he wasn't examined by team trainers. Assuming he's healthy, he should be able to put together better numbers in Week 2 against a Raiders secondary that got torched for 115 yards and a TD by Robby Anderson in its opener.

Thomas corralled four of nine targets for 37 yards in the Saints' 42-10 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
Analysis: After battling a hand injury all week, Thomas suited up for the Saints' final regular-season matchup, though his performance was a let-down for fantasy owners. He produced his lowest receiving total of the season while snagging his fewest passes of the year in the blowout victory.

Analysis: The Saints merely held a brief walk-through session Christmas Day, but Thomas apparently would have missed out on some reps had the team held a traditional practice. In any event, the hand issue isn't expected to keep Thomas sidelined against the Panthers on Sunday, when the Saints will have a chance to move up from the No. 3 seed in the NFC to claim a first-round bye.

Thomas caught 12 of 17 targets for 136 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' 38-28 win over the Titans on Sunday.

The record-setting reception came on an out route in the red zone, and Thomas grabbed one more ball in the contest for a game-sealing touchdown that brought his catch total to 145 on the year.

Thomas brought in 11 of 15 targets for 134 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' 48-46 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.
Analysis: After a season-low receiving total last week, Thomas bounced back in a huge way with his massive stat line. His 11 receptions bring his total to a league-leading 121 on the season, and he'll have three more games to eclipse Marvin Harrison's single-season record of 143. Thomas' 134 yards also brought him to 1,424 on the season, already surpassing his career-high 1,405 set in 2018.

Analysis: Thomas paced the Saints in receptions and tied for the team lead in targets, though his output was a bit light by his standards. The fourth-year receiver entered Thursday's contest having averaged 113 receiving yards on just over nine receptions per contest this season, but he came up with his lowest receiving total of the year. Drew Brees' uncharacteristic 184-yard night played a large part in Thomas' dud, and the All Pro receiver will try to bounce back from this outlier next week against San…read more

Historically prolific year persists
Thomas corralled 10 of 11 targets for 101 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 34-31 win against Carolina.
Analysis: Coming into Week 12, Thomas had accounted for more receptions than the Eagles' (93) and Ravens' (74) entire wide receiver corps, and by the conclusion of the first quarter against the Panthers, he had already hauled in six passes to reach the century mark for the season. With 104 grabs through 11 games thus far in 2019, Thomas finds himself on pace to break Marvin Harrison's single-season receptions record (143) by eight. It's a delectable matchup forthcoming for Thomas on Thanksgiving night,…read more

Eclipses century mark in Week 11
Thomas secured eight of 11 targets for 114 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' 34-17 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Analysis: Thomas was in the familiar position of pacing the team in receiving yardage and targets, while his 16-yard scoring grab to close out the first quarter was his fifth of the season overall. The Pro Bowl wideout has four consecutive 100-yard efforts, and he's now recorded at least eight grabs in seven straight contests. Thomas will look to continue building on his stellar numbers versus the Panthers in a Week 12 divisional matchup.

Another monster output in Week 10
Thomas corralled 13 of 14 targets for 152 receiving yards during Sunday's 26-9 loss to the Falcons.
Analysis: The 26-year-old wideout has been one of the league's most consistently-dominant fantasy assets through 10 weeks of the 2019 season, racking up at least five catches in every single game and eclipsing 85 receiving yards in eight of nine. Thomas' hefty workload indicates that he will continue to be a force down the stretch, as he has now averaged 12.2 targets per game since Week 5, with no fewer than seven balls thrown his way in any contest this year. Week 11 presents an extremely favorable…read more
