METAIRIE, La. (AP) -Saints running back Pierre Thomas says he could return to the field “sooner than people think.”
Thomas is suiting up for practice again this week after spending most of the past seven weeks in the training room because of a severe left ankle sprain.
While Thomas is doing some individual agility work, he is not yet taking part in 11-on-11 drills, so he is officially listed as not practicing on the injury report.
Thomas was the Saints’ leading rusher last season. He injured his ankle in Week 3 against Atlanta.
Thomas is not expected to play Sunday when New Orleans hosts Seattle, but says he feels great and is in far better spirits now that he’s back at practice and focusing on football again.
