New Orleans Saints tailback Pierre Thomas said he’s hoping to be off crutches next week and maybe to remove the walking boot from his left ankle the week after that.
The Times-PicayunePierre Thomas is still trying to come back from an ankle injury.
But he’s still feeling pain in the lingering and mystifying ankle sprain, and he said he doesn’t know when he might be able to return the practice field.
“I don’t know. I really don’t,” Thomas said when asked what would be the next step if the ankle doesn’t start feeling better after these weeks of rest. “I’m just doing what I’m told, so I don’t know what’s wrong, what’s the problem. I’m just doing what I’m told.”
