Thomas, as stated above, was listed as questionable but is primed for a comeback year for the Saints, who will see Jameis Winston as their starting quarterback Week 1.
He was one of the better receivers in the league before a hamstring injury tripped him up. He’s been having a strong fall camp for the Saints and will likely make a huge impact alongside rookie receiver Drake London.
Thomas hasn’t played an NFL game since January of 2021 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the playoffs.
