Times Picayune: Saints RB Pierre Thomas is questionable for
Sunday's game, after missing practice for the third straight time
Friday. Thomas has been the Saints' primary running threat in
recent weeks, picking up more than 100 combined yards in five of
his last six games and at least one touchdown in each of the
Saints' last six games. But he suffered wrist and back injuries in
a win at the Lions, and missing every practice this week could be
a sign that his season is over. If Thomas cannot play, running
backs Mike Bell and Deuce Mcallister both are likely to get
carries, and Payton said he would bring running back Lynell
Hamilton up from the practice squad to the active roster. Payton
also said that cornerback Usama Young (ankle) and tackle Jammal
Brown (ankle) are probable for Sunday's game after full
participation in Friday's practice.
