It seems like a messy new chapter in the Michael Thomas saga unfolds every other week. The latest news on the New Orleans Saints star receiver comes from Jeff Duncan of the Times-Picayune | Advocate, who reports that months passed between Thomas’ last conversation with the Saints and his June surgery.
Here’s what we know: team doctors recommended he get surgery back in January, but Thomas sought a second opinion, which proposed rehabbing the damaged ligaments without going under the knife. When Thomas and the Saints met again in March, he chose to take the second option, agreeing to pursue “progressive benchmarks” in recovery until his return to the team facility in June.
