Saints star wide receiver Michael Thomas is likely to have surgery on his torn deltoid and other injured ligaments in his high ankle this offseason, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Per ESPN, Thomas didn't want to miss out on a possible Super Bowl run with New Orleans in what is expected to be quarterback Drew Brees' last season.
Thomas was the NFL's Offensive Player of the Year in 2019, hauling in 149 catches for 1,725 yards and nine touchdowns. This season, however, Thomas appeared in just seven games, catching 40 passes for 438 yards.
