Pierre Thomas Questionable for Week 1

by Chris BurkeFiled under: Saints, NFL InjuriesThe Saints may be without a key piece of their offense when they host the Lions in Week 1. Running back Pierre Thomas told The Times-Picayune that he considers himself "questionable" for New Orleans' opener because of the sprained MCL he suffered during the preseason."It means a lot, and I really want to play in the opener -- but I don't want to cause any more damage," Thomas told the Times-Picayune. "I don't want to take a chance where I just play this game and don't play out the season. I want to be smart about it."My main focus is trying to get back for the first game. But if it's not ready, it's not ready. I can't push it."Pierre Thomas Says He's Questionable for Week 1 With MCL Injury originally appeared on Fanhouse NFL Blog on Sat, 05 Sep 2009 00:55:00 EST .
