Michael Thomas is expected to start the 2021 season on the physically unable to perform list and return by Week 7.

Thomas missed nine games last season with the ankle injury that eventually led to surgery.

Thomas had 1,725 yards and nine touchdowns during the 2019 season while also catching 149 passes. 

Michael Thomas could miss the start of the 2021 season due to his June ankle surgery.

Thomas was plagued by the ankle injury throughout the 2020 season. It is unclear why Thomas had surgery so late in the offseason, but the goal is a full recovery.

Thomas finished with 40 catches for 438 yards in the regular season and didn't catch his first touchdown pass until the playoffs.
