PODCAST: What’s next for Saints after handing Tom Brady his worst-ever loss?

PODCAST: Saints fans, Michael Thomas to return vs. Panthers?

The New Orleans Saints are planning to return a live audience and star wide receiver Michael Thomas against the Carolina Panthers.

The newest episode of the Saints Wire Podcast is live, hosted as always by Ryan O’Leary (@RyanOLearySMG on Twitter) with Saints Wire managing editor John Sigler (@john_siglerr on Twitter).

This week we’re taking stock of the Saints after their bye week and looking forwards, with a game coming up this Sunday against the division-rival Carolina Panthers.

Additionally, a limited number of Saints fans will be allowed into the Mercedes-Benz Superdome for the first time in 2020, and wide receiver Michael Thomas could be making his return — if the hamstring injury he suffered in practice doesn’t keep him down.

The latest edition of the Saints Wire Podcast is up, hosted by Ryan O’Leary (@RyanOLearySMG on Twitter) with Saints Wire managing editor John Sigler (@john_siglerr on Twitter).

We took one last look at the New Orleans Saints’ surprising road loss to the Las Vegas Raiders before turning our attention to Week 3’s game with the Green Bay Packers, and mused whether expectations may have been too high for the Saints in 2020 with a 41-year old Drew Brees at quarterback.
