The New Orleans Saints and Detroit Lions published their final injury report ahead of Sunday’s game, officially ruling out star wide receiver Michael Thomas for his third consecutive absence. This was the soonest Thomas was expected to return from his Week 1 ankle injury, so his absence isn’t wholly surprising despite practicing this week.

However, he’s one of six Saints players who will not dress for Week 4. Thomas will be joined on the sidelines by tight end Jared Cook (groin), defensive end Marcus Davenport (elbow, toe), guard Andrus Peat (ankle), and cornerbacks Janoris Jenkins (shoulder) and Marshon Lattimore (hamstring).

But at least defensive tackle David Onyemata (calf) was full-go, and linebacker Chase Hansen (hip) was questionable. The full injury report:
