New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas suffered a high ankle injury in Sunday's win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, sources told Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Thomas believes he can play through the ailment but will likely be listed as questionable for Week 2, added Rapoport.

The star pass-catcher will have an extra day to rest with the Saints slated to play Monday night against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Thomas was quiet in the 34-23 win over the Bucs, catching just three passes for 17 yards. He appeared to suffer the injury late in the game when Saints running back Alvin Kamara rolled up on the wideout's lower leg.

Tight end Jared Cook and Kamara were Drew Brees' primary Week 1 targets, racking up 80 and 51 yards and touchdown, respectively.

Thomas led the league in catches (149) and receiving yards (1,725) last season and was named the Offensive Player of the Year.
