Zero catches against the Buccaneers in the playoffs! Something seemed off with wide receiver Michael Thomas and honestly the whole Saints offense in the divisional playoff. ESPNs Adam Schefter reports that the 27-year old might choose to have surgery on an ankle that has been an issue for him since it happened week one.

Thomas' only TD grab of the 2020 season came in the Wild Card round vs. the Bears. After setting the new NFL mark for most receptions in a season a year ago, Thomas ended up with just 45 catches for 511 yards in 9 games, including playoffs, this year.

Getting Can't Guard Mike back healthy for the 2021 season is going to be vital for an offense that will likely have Jameis Winston or Taysom Hill running it next season since Drew Brees is expected to retire after 20 years in the pros.
