Thomas has missed game this season for a variety of reasons. He’s battled injuries, yes, but he was also reportedly involved in a fight with a teammate last month.
The former Buckeye was at the center of several trade rumors last week, but the Saints couldn’t find a deal for him.
If Thomas is right, he’s arguably the best receiver in the NFL. Last season, he led the league with 149 catches and 1,725 yards. He also scored nine touchdowns for the third time in his four seasons.
The Saints and Bucs kick off at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC.
