Michael Thomas‘ ankle injury left the Saints with a large void in the lineup entering training camp. Initial reports suggest Thomas is due for a mid-season return. But as general manager Mickey Loomis and coach Sean Payton shared on Wednesday, they believe the star receiver could’ve been looking at a different road to recovery had a few things been managed differently. Minus a one-game conduct-related suspension, Thomas was limited to nine total appearances in 2020 due to lingering ankle issues. Loomis shed light on what transpired with Thomas’ situation following the season.
