QB Carr looks good in brief Saints debut

New Orleans Saints quarterback DEREK CARR looked solid in his preseason debut with his new team, completing 6 of 8 passes for 70 yards and a four-yard touchdown. The 12-play scoringMore drive was the only work of the day for Carr, as fellow quarterback JAMEIS WINSTON replaced him afterward. One of Carr’s most promising completions may have been a 16-yard connection with veteran wide receiver MICHAEL THOMAS. As fantasy owners are well aware, Thomas has missed almost all of the last three seasons with injuries but he has been healthy this summer and hopes are high for what he and Carr will be able to do this season.

I am interested in Chris Olave, so it caught my eye last week when New Orleans coach Dennis Allen said he *thinks* Michael Thomas will be healthy for training camp. If Thomas is or isn’t playing, that will affect how often the Saints are going to their other Ohio State receiver.   more »

Saints GM has faith in oft-injured WR Thomas

New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis said earlier this week that he “absolutely” believes that veteran and oft-injured wide receiver MICHAEL THOMAS can still be a 100-reception wideout. Thomas lastMore topped 100 receptions in 2019, a season in which he also set the single season record for catches with 149. Since that time, however, Thomas has been sidelined by a series of injuries and hasn’t played meaningful football in years. Less

Saints WR Thomas expected to be “good to go” for training camp

New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen said this week that veteran wide receiver MICHAEL THOMAS is expected to be “good to go” in time for training camp. Thomas is stillMore recovering after a series of lower leg injuries interrupted his career over the past couple of seasons.

Thomas missed 9 games in 2020 and all of the 2021 season due to ankle injuries. He was then limited to three games last season because of a toe injury that required him to have surgery. Less
