New Orleans Saints running back Pierre Thomas left Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons with a rib injury and will not return.
Thomas was initially tabbed as questionable to return but has since been ruled out.
He finished the afternoon with two receptions for 24 yards.
Fellow running backs Mark Ingram and Khiry Robinson figure to see larger roles in Thomas's absence.
