The New Orleans Saints got some positive injury news on Thursday, though another player went down with an illness that seems to be circulating.
WR Michael Thomas was a full participant, while Lynn Bowden Jr. got back to work in a limited capacity after missing Wednesday. DT Malcolm Roach was added to the injury report with an illness of his own and did not participate. The lone Saints player who missed due to injury was LB Ty Summers, who continues to work back from a concussion.
