New Orleans Saints Coach Sean Payton said this morning running back Pierre Thomas would be back in about a couple of days. That estimate turned into a matter of hours as Thomas returned to the field at training camp in the team's afternoon practice indoors today. Thomas said he and the Saints staff wanted to be cautious, especially since his left wrist he injured yesterday was the same wrist on which he previously had surgery. He attributed his earlier-than-expected return to his fiery attitude. "It was just a nice hit; one of the guys got me good," Thomas said. "Coach Payton said it might be a couple of days. I said, 'Nah, I just need a few hours to shake it off.' Everybody knows I'm a fighter." Source: Times-Picayune
