Saints’ Wide Receiver Michael Thomas To Go On Injured Reserve, Miss Steelers Game

Coming out of their bye week, the Pittsburgh Steelers play host to the New Orleans Saints at Acrisure Stadium in Week 10. We already knew the Saints would be down one weapon in running back Mark Ingram, but it was announced today by Saints head coach Dennis Allen that wide receiver Michael Thomas would go on injured reserve and miss the rest of the season with a dislocated second toe, obviously sidelining him against Pittsburgh in Week 10. The news was passed along by Mike Triplett of New Orleans.Football.

Saints will place WR Michael Thomas on injured reserve and he will have surgery on his toe, according to coach Dennis Allen, who said he doesn’t know the exact timetable but doesn’t anticipate that Thomas will return this year.
