New Orleans Saints WR Michael Thomas out for season after setback in ankle recovery

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas is out for the season due to a setback in his recovery from ankle surgery.

Thomas announced his season was over in a tweet Wednesday.

"As many of you know, early last season I injured my ankle and worked extremely hard over the next few months to get back in time to finish the season. Unfortunately the rehab didn't go as planned and earlier this off-season it was apparent I would need to have a procedure to repair the injury," Thomas wrote.

"Since then, the team and I have worked diligently, day and night to rehab and get me back on the field.
