News of Michael Thomas’s ankle surgery in June sent ripples throughout the New Orleans Saints world last week. That came to a head on Monday, when Thomas was placed on the physically unable to perform list, knocking him out until at least Week 7 (against the Seahawks). It’s another blow to a Saints offense that has taken lick after lick and hasn’t done much to address it.
The Saints signed Chris Hogan on Monday in response to the news and calling it a downgrade would be a bit of an understatement. The wide receiver depth chart for the Saints is now Hogan, Tre’quan Smith, Marquez Callaway and Juwan Johnson.
