Thomas (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Thomas was given a 2-to-4 week timetable to return after suffering a high-ankle sprain Week 1, so it's no surprise that he's not back on the practice field just yet. While the Saints have two days of prep to go this week, it'll be mildly shocking if Thomas joins his teammates Thursday or Friday. If he does, though, he could begin putting himself in a position to play as soon as Sunday against the Packers.
