The New Orleans Saints are preparing for wide receiver Michael Thomas to enter the 2023 season fully healthy after toe and ankle injuries limited him to 10 regular season games over the last three years.
Thomas had surgery in 2021 to repair a torn deltoid and other ligaments in his left ankle after he was injured in the 2020 season opener. He also needed surgery in 2022 after he dislocated the second toe on his right foot in the third game of the 2022 season.
Thomas said one of the issues with the surgeries was the way his body failed to respond to the hardware inserted to help him heal.
