Report: Michael Thomas to be limited in first practice, 'ramp up' before Bears kickoff

#Saints WR Michael Thomas is expected to practice today on a limited basis and will ramp up during the week, source said. Thomas went on IR to allow his high-ankle injury to heal, and the progress has been good. Looking solid vs. #Bears.

The New Orleans Saints are in for a busy Wednesday, with star wide receiver Michael Thomas expected to return to practice for the first training session ahead of their Wild-Card Round matchup with the Chicago Bears. Thomas has spent the last three weeks on the injured reserve list recovering from an early-season high-ankle sprain, which NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported has helped him rebound.
