Saints' Michael Thomas Could Play Week 7 After Punishment for Fight in Practice

head coach Sean Payton has left the door open for wide receiver to return to the lineup Sunday in Week 7 against the Carolina Panthers.

According to Luke Johnson of the New Orleans Advocate, Payton said: "We'll see. I think he's feeling better. We really don't get into injuries or predictions, so you guys will be the first to know."

Thomas suffered a high ankle sprain in Week 1 and hasn't played since. The Saints were on their bye last week, but Thomas was in line to potentially play the week before against the Los Angeles Chargers.
