Thomas suffered a shoulder injury and was taken to the locker room in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Lions, according to NOLA.com.

Analysis:

Thomas finished with six carries for 13 rushing yards and four catches on four targets for 17 receiving yards, before suffering the injury. Khiry Robinson lost a fumble in the second quarter, which allowed Thomas to get a few more carries, though Mark Ingram still led the team with 10. Despite the injury, Thomas still played the most snaps for the Saints, playing on 27 offensive snaps. It's unclear how serious the injury is, which clouds his availability for Week 8 against the Packers, who are allowing the most rushing yards per game this season.
