Michael Thomas Will Have At Least 2 Touchdowns
Everyone knows the work horse that Michael Thomas is and no one was more disappointed then him when it was announced he would missing 2-4 games. In fact, when he first injured his ankle, he thought he would be good to go in their Monday Night matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that Thomas is eyeing a return to the field this Sunday and that his return is more likely than not.
This Saints offense has missed Michael Thomas. Due to his absence, Alvin Kamara not only was the lead back, but the leading receiver as well in the last two games. While he can carry the load of both duties, their offense is way more explosive and effective with both of them on the field.
The Saints are going up against a Lions secondary that is allowing 237.0 yards per game through the air. Although he may not be 100% when he steps on the field, expect Thomas to make up for his time missed.
