Saints RB Thomas has to take care of his wrist

On Saints Saturday practice, RB Pierre Thomas bruised his left wrist when DT Sedrick Ellis grabbed for the ball in his hands. This caused new injury to the wrist which was already dislocated in Week 15 last season.

In order to avoid more problem, Thomas did not take part in team practice on the last day of the Saints' minicamp, but he still participated in the individual drills.


Thomas told the Times-Picayune that the wrist has improved since being hit Saturday and that once it's healed, there will probably no more problem with the wrist.

“I’m still in the process of getting it better after the surgery, so it’s going to take a while. But it’s getting stronger. Hopefully since he did hit it, he tore some of my scar tissue up and it’s going to help me out. Now I just got to have to get the swelling down. I believe as soon as I get that down I’m not going to have any problems.”

We may expect he will be 100 percent healthy by the time season begins.
