Michael Thomas plans to play through ankle injury

The New Orleans Saints beat Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, but not for free. Star wide receiver Michael Thomas injured his ankle in that win, but plans to play through it.

#Saints star WR Michael Thomas suffered a high-ankle injury in Sunday’s win over the #Bucs, but it’s something he believes he can play through, sources tell me and @RapSheet. With an extra day before next Monday’s game vs. #Raiders, nobody ruling Thomas out.

The Saints have an extra day - they don't play until next Monday night, against the ​Las Vegas Raiders, so this isn't too unbelievable. The Saints should be lucky they got out of this one (almost) scot-free.
