METAIRIE, La. -- New Orleans Saints receiver Michael Thomas returned to practice on a limited basis Wednesday after missing the past two games with a high ankle sprain.
It's unclear if Thomas will be able to play Sunday at the Detroit Lions. But the Saints obviously targeted this week as a realistic possibility since they never placed him on injured reserve (which would have required him to miss at least three games).
The Saints (1-2) could certainly use the offensive boost. In Thomas' absence, they have lost two straight games for the first time in three years.
