Jason LaCanfora of the NFL Network tweets that Saints running back Pierre Thomas (ankle) could still be a few weeks away from returning. Thomas has reportedly returned to practice, but it sounds like he's not doing much. The Saints will get Reggie Bush back this week, but with Thomas and Chris Ivory still out, the running back corps is still in shambles. It sounds like Thomas is taking baby steps and will avoid injured reserve, but his recovery has been painfully slow. Source: RotoTimes
