Saints running back Pierre Thomas will miss his third straight game on Sunday because of a sprained left ankle.
"I'm a little frustrated, but hey, it's coming along," said Thomas, who told the Times-Picayune his ankle is "starting to look like a normal ankle again."
Thomas doesn't want to risk a setback by returning before he is ready.
"Now I'm in the process of seeing where the strength is at," he said. "It's just taking too long."
