Saints receiver Micahel Thomas went on the COVID-19 reserve list Sept. 14. He came off the list Saturday.
Thomas reverted to the reserve/physically unable to perform list.
He was on PUP before presumably testing positive for the virus, which means he must miss the first six weeks of the season. The Saints have an early bye, so Thomas could return after five games if he is ready to come back.
Thomas underwent ankle surgery in June.
The Saints have leaned on Marquez Callaway, Deonte Harris, Chris Hogan, Ty Montgomery and Lil’Jordan Humphrey in Thomas’ absence.
