The New Orleans Saints expect Michael Thomas to return to the field fully healthy in 2022.

"We're expecting to have Mike back," Mikey Loomis said. "His progress hopefully is going well, and the reports are that it's been going well. I know he is certainly motivated; Michael is always motivated, so that's not an issue. But Tre'Quan (Smith) is a free agent and Deonte Harris is an RFA (restricted free agent), so we've got some work to do to complete [the wide receiver] room."

Thomas missed the 2021 season with an ankle injury.
