Saints' Michael Thomas, Mark Ingram miss practice with injuries
Several key players were missing from New Orleans Saints practice Thursday -- including receiver Michael Thomas and running back
Thomas was absent from practice for the second straight day. The severity of his injury is unknown, and there was no indication he got hurt during last week's game. But his status for Sunday's game at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers could be in jeopardy if he is unable to return to the practice field by Friday.
The Saints have a deep passing offense, but Thomas has emerged as their top receiving target as a rookie second-round draft pick. He leads the team in all receiving categories, with 69 catches, 831 yards and seven touchdowns.
