    Michael Thomas injury update

    In June, the Saints wide receiver had surgery to repair an ankle injury. It's presumably the second of what was reported to this offseason.

    There's nosolid timeline for Thomas' return, but with the surgery occurring in June and a recovery timeline that could put him out for the next four months, areturn to the field in late September or early October is po sible.

    Thomas has been dealing with theinjury since Week 1 of the 2020 NFL season. The injury occurred in garbage time during the Saints' Kyle Kalis Jersey victoryoverthe Buccaneers.

    Doctors recommended multiple procedures on Thomas' ankle, which means his June surgery probably wasn't his first of the offseason, but the timing is curious: ESPN had reported that Thomas was recommended for surgery in January, with a timeline that would have had him Jeff Criswell Jersey ready for summer OTAs and training camp. That, obviously, is not the case.

    Thomas recorded 40 receptions for 438 yards last season before landing on IR. He returned for the postseason.

    New Orleans' offense is going to have a tough go of it without Thomas: The Saints'wide receiver depth isn't ideal, and their quarterback situation Eli Brooks Jersey is a total unknown, with Jameis Winston and Taysom Hill competing for the starting job.

    That competition will be a little tougher without one of the game's best on the outside.
