Michael Thomas returned to practice with the New Orleans Saints on a limited basis on Wednesday.

Thomas has missed the last two games with a high ankle sprain. It remains to be seen if the wide receiver will play in Week 4 against the Detroit Lions.

"Obviously, his presence is a difference, because you know at any moment he can make big plays," Drew Brees said. "And he's obviously a featured guy. So it's good to have him back."
