What It Means:

Thomas got dinged up early in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Vikings and spent a fair amount of time in the injury tent before returning to the team's bench. The veteran wideout was seen on the sidelines with his teammates, so a return seems possible.

Thomas hasn't returned to the un-guardable status he held during his years with Drew Brees under center, but has been a solid producer for the Saints' offense with Derek Carr so far this year. He has caught 38 passes for 439 yards and a touchdown while competing for targets with Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed.
