Source: Saints expect Drew Brees, Michael Thomas to play against Buccaneers

METAIRIE, La. - Drew Brees and Michael Thomas are both expected to play in the New Orleans Saints' critical NFC South showdown at Tampa Bay, a source told ESPN's Dianna Russini.

There is little doubt about Brees' status after he practiced fully on Friday and was not even listed with any injury designation on Friday's injury report.

Thomas, meanwhile, is officially listed as questionable. But he practiced on a limited basis every day this week, which gives the Saints a great chance to finally have their full offense intact for the first time since their previous victory over the Buccaneers in Week 1.
