Saints' Payton critical of how Thomas' injury was handled. MORE:
METAIRIE, La. — Saints coach Sean Payton expressed annoyance at the timing of a surgical procedure that could sideline starHe stopped short of assigning blame, however.
Thomas, who set an NFL record in 2019 with 149 catches, had surgery in June to address a high ankle sprain that sidelined him for much of last season. He had just 40 catches without a touchdown in six regular-season contests in 2020, followed by five catches and one TD in two playoff games. Thomas has not publicly addressed what led him to put off surgery until June, but general manager Mickey Loomis indicated that both the club and player initially hoped the receiver’s injury could heal without surgery.
