An earlier report from ESPN’s Dianna Russini said that New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas is expected to play against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday night, and NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport added that there is optimism internally in New Orleans that Thomas will be able to dress out.
But the Saints played it more conservatively on their final injury report on Friday, listing Thomas as a limited participant in practice and officially designating him as questionable to play. As Sean Payton said in his Friday press conference, Thomas could be a game-time decision after testing his injured ankle and hamstring.
