One day ahead of their biggest game of the season, the New Orleans Saints added their star wideout to the injury report.
Second-year receiver Michael Thomas is questionable to play against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday after being added to the report Saturday with a hamstring injury.
Aside from Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara, Thomas is New Orleans' most indispensable offensive weapon. Thomas is only the second receiver to start his career with back-to-back seasons of 90-plus receptions and 1,000-plus yards (Odell Beckham). He's also a Falcons killer. Thomas has averged at least seven receptions, 70 receiving yards and a TD in three career games against Atalnta.
Here are the other injuries worth monitoring Saturday:
- Packers right tackle Jason Spriggs (knee) was carted off early in the first quarter against the Minnesota Vikings and . Receiver Jordy Nelson (shoulder) and tight end Richard Rodgers (shoulder) . Running back Aaron Jones (knee) did not return, either.
- Tom Savage's season is officially over. The Houston Texans on injured reserve on Saturday. Savage had sat out the previous game with a concussion. T.J. Yates will continue to start under center for the final two games.

- Oakland Raiders wide rceiverAmari Cooper (ankle), center Rodney Hudson (ankle/illness) and linebacker Bruce Irvin (concussion) were all listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Defensive lineman Mario Edwards Jr. (ankle) was ruled out.
