Newsbreakers
January 16, 2010
Pierre Thomas limped off the field in the closing seconds of the third quarter of today's game against Arizona, according to the live broadcast on FOX Sports.

Our View:Thomas was already dealing with a rib injury heading into battle. Mike Bell will see more touches in his absence.
January 15, 2010
Pierre Thomas (ribs) fully practiced for the third straight day Friday, according to the Saints' official website.

Our View:Thomas is probable for Saturday's playoff game against Arizona, and will play with the aid of a flak jacket to shield his ribs. The Cardinals finished the regular season ranked 17th in run defense, while Thomas averaged 5.4 yards per carry.
January 14, 2010
Pierre Thomas (ribs) practiced in full for a second-straight day on Thursday, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune.

Our View:He'll be wearing a flak jacket to protect his mid section on Saturday, but it looks like he should be near full health and ready to handle a feature role against the Cardinals.
January 13, 2010
Pierre Thomas (ribs) was a full participant in the Saints' practice on Wednesday, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune's Jeff Duncan.

Our View:While he may not be at 100 percent health, Thomas is still fully expected to play against the Cardinals on Saturday. While Reggie Bush and Mike Bell will figure into the mix, Thomas is the team's best all-around back and should serve in a feature role.
January 12, 2010
The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports that running back Pierre Thomas participated in Tuesday's practice despite his fractured ribs.

Our View:The Saints expect Thomas to play against the Cardinals this weekend, and him participating in Tuesday's practice helps solidify that notion. He could have a big game if Cards linebacker Gerald Hayes isn't able to play due to a ankle injury.
January 9, 2010
Pierre Thomas practiced Saturday while sporting a yellow non-contact jersey, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune.

Our View:Thomas is dealing with three fractured ribs, but the Saints are hopeful of having him handle a regular workload in next weekend's playoff game.
January 7, 2010
Despite having three fractured ribs, Pierre Thomas will remain New Orleans' number one running back through the playoffs as long as he can remain healthy, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune.

Our View:Things will operate as they did in the regular season, with Mike Bell serving as the club's short-yardage back and Reggie Bush acting as a decoy or "change of pace" back.
January 4, 2010
Despite revealing on Monday that he three fractured ribs, Pierre Thomas says he plans to play in New Orleans' Divisional playoff game in two weekends, according to Jeff Duncan of the New Orleans Times-Picayune.

Our View:He is planning on wearing a flak jacket. Two weeks is a decent amount of time to heal, but he will surely not be at 100 percent when New Orleans next takes the field.
January 1, 2010
Pierre Thomas has been ruled out for Week 17 with a rib injury, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune. Receiver Lance Moore is also out with an ankle injury.

Our View:New Orleans is not expected to give away Sunday's game like the Colts did against the Jets last Sunday, but with it having no meaning for the Saints beyond tuning up, no reason existed to run a banged up Thomas out there. Mike Bell will be the man.
