Thomas’ status will be something to monitor with this game just getting underway in the first quarter. The Saints wide receiver is playing today despite being less than 48 hours removed from being arrested and charged with simple battery and criminal mischief in Kenner, LA, on Friday. The veteran has been mostly healthy this season and has appeared in nine games this season, his most since 2019. Despite that, he’s only been moderately productive with 38 receptions for 439 yards and a touchdown prior to today’s game.
We’ll keep you posted on Thomas’ status and if he’ll return to today’s action.
