Was Michael Thomas injured on the last play of the game? [MERGED] (1 Viewer)

maybe it's more about finishing the game with your best effort

I saw him grab his ankle after the last play. He sat on the turf for quite a bit and was even shaking hands with some Falcons players as he was down. Trainers came over but I didn't see them looking specifically at his ankle. Then they helped him up and I didn't see him limping noticeably.

Felt like ending the game with a TD was important.

Getting those garbage time stats in.

Prior to that drive we were down 3 scores. Why have Brees, Kamara, or Thomas in there at all?

It makes me wonder if they were chasing stats/records?

On Rev and Ellias' podcast Rev said something about a possible concussion. Hope not.

Haven’t had a chance to go back and look...but there was one weird play where he kinda got sandwiched between two defenders. I think it was second to last drive.
From that point forward...he kept having to squat down.
I got the sense that he injured his ribs and was having trouble getting full breath in because of it.
Hopefully it’s nothing! But he squatted 4-5x in a way I’ve never seen him do before.
