Saints' Michael Thomas (ankle) ruled out for Raiders game

New Orleans Saints receiver Michael Thomas has officially been ruled out for Monday night's game against the Las Vegas Raiders, it was announced Saturday.

Thomas was listed as "week to week" after suffering a high ankle injury in the final minutes of last Sunday's win against Tampa Bay.

High ankle sprains typically sideline players for three to four weeks.

Thomas has missed only one game due to injury in his career -- as a rookie in 2016. His absence leaves a huge void in New Orleans' offense; Thomas just set the NFL record with 149 catches last season for 1,725 yards and nine touchdowns.
