I've fallen for that line one too many times.

This. I wont believe a thing until he takes a hand off from Drew.

Yeah really. Like Bush two weeks ago goes from last minute game time decision (inactive) to next week doubtful (plays).

 

[bornnraisedwhodat]

Unless I see (full) on the injury reports this week I won't believe it.

 

[saintsammyjoe]

this would be awsome

 

[theicebox]

dude this would be great.
Cut down the carries on ivory.

Not holding my breath

This means he will be back for the Atlanta game.

Payton said Thomas has “turned the corner’’ in his rehabilitation/recovery from a severely sprained left ankle that has sidelined him the past eight games and triggered widespread speculation as to the nature of the injury.

This is a great idea for BANG! Cartoons...

Loomis: Sean, with only 5 games left Pierre Thomas can't play in more than 50% of the regular season games -- meaning we don't have to do something financially related..

Sean: Really?

Scottie Patton: Hey Coach, it's a miracle, his ankle is healed.

I will be excited whenever Pierre is able to get back on the field. He's another weapon and someone else to keep defensive coordinators up at night. Also, we have not been able to execute our potent screen game with he and Bush out of the lineup for so long. In my opinion, he's the best in the business at setting up his blocks on a screen and turning a simple catch in the flat into huge gains.

And even if he does play, how effective will he be in his first few games back?

Forcing the Bengals to put in work defending a screen.
