Michael Thomas at the Saints' facility as OTAs open this week

After being named the NFL's Offensive Player of the Year in 2019, Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas missed most of the 2020 season and all of the 2021 season, and there's been talk that he and the team haven't seen eye-to-eye on everything from his injury rehab to his attitude on the practice…

Positive sign... but not unexpected by us.

You know he's chomping at the bits.

I hope once and for all that this puts the M.T is a cancer talk to bed

Probably the single biggest unknown this season. What will MT look like??

 

[Domeination]

At his salary, he better be there. Glad he’s finally back in the routine.

How could his ankle possibly still be hurt? I'm not a doctor, it just seems way longer than an ankle injury should take. He injured it January of 2021 in the playoffs is that accurate?

Drafting Olave helped light a fire for MT. He gets to mentor someone from his alma mater.

Is this being reported somewhere? That he is still not recovered? If so I haven't heard that....

But it has to do with the severity of the injury really, but no, in the playoffs he was playing on an already injured ankle (he wanted to play in DB's last games) and as a result had a more severe injury....I strongly feel neither he nor Brees (reportedly had a torn rotator cuff) should have been on the field that day.....

I blew my ankle out... Dislocation, hair-line Facture, and Ligament / Nerve damage.... took nearly 2 years to fully recover and get back on the turf and cut / take off like I used too... Still bothers me some days today (that was 5 years ago)

I dislocated mine and took years to get back near the same (this was 1983) … medicine has advanced greatly, but ligaments and tendons take much longer to heal than broken bones, which I’ve also had my fair share of

It’s clear he’s trying to do the right thing now. Now whether or not he’s going to get on the field and be the player of old has yet to be seen.
