Saints are ruling out WR Michael Thomas for Monday night’s game, per source.

There was some optimism that wide receiver Michael Thomas could return to play for the New Orleans Saints in Week 5’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers after practicing on a limited basis for two weeks, but ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that the Saints ruled Thomas out after initially listing him as questionable on their final injury report.
It’s a bit surprising. Thomas will now have missed four games with an ankle injury that wasn’t described as particularly serious after exiting Week 1’s win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
