New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (hamstring, ankle) is practicing Wednesday.
Thomas should finally be able to play Sunday night against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the first time since the first game of the season. Emmanuel Sanders (COVID-19) and Marquez Callaway (ankle) also practiced Wednesday. Alvin Kamara has averaged 9.7 targets per game without Thomas in the lineup. Tre'Quan Smith will likely see a reduced role moving forward.
Thomas will be returning against a Buccaneers pass defense that is No. 5 in numberFire's advanced team rankings. They are allowing the ninth-fewest FanDuel points per game (27.0) to the wide receiver position.
