Saints GM Addresses Michael Thomas Going on PUP List
After missing the entire 2021 season and the majority of the ’20 season, Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas was put on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list ahead of training camp this week.
Thomas dealt with an ankle injury in the 2020 season, followed by offseason surgery that he reportedly hasn’t fully recovered from, hence why he was put on the PUP list.
Originally, Saints coach Dennis Allen thought the wide receiver would be ready for training camp, especially after he attended OTAs for rehab purposes. So, the PUP list news came at a shock for some.
Saints general manager Mickey Loomis talked about Thomas’s status on Tuesday, providing a positive update on the 29-year-old.
