Michael Thomas has joined the New Orleans Saints in Baltimore for their preseason opener, a source confirmed -- the latest sign that tensions have eased between the team and its star receiver.
NOLA.com was the first to report that Thomas would be on the sideline for Saturday night's game as he continues to recover from June ankle surgery. Yahoo! Sports reported earlier this week that Thomas and Saints coach Sean Payton had a productive conversation and are not seeking a split.
The tension had been building up this summer as Thomas decided to delay his ankle surgery until June.
