It’s tough to think of a New Orleans Saints player who endured a more disappointing 2020 season than Michael Thomas. 2019’s Offensive Player of the Year was cut down by an injury in mop-up duty during the season opener, which turned out to be worse than it appeared and resulted in him bouncing on and off of the injured reserve list — when he wasn’t benched for lashing out at teammates on the practice field.
His injured ankle led to expectations of offseason surgery, so the Saints training staff are still monitoring his condition to make sure he’ll receive a green light for full contact in training camp later this summer.
