Brian Allee-Walsh, of The New Orleans Times Picayune, reports New Orleans Saints RB Pierre Thomas (knee) sustained a gash to his right knee earlier this week while trying to free his dog from a chain-link fence. "I tried to squeeze through this gate and I got my leg caught. I was in a rush and I know should have been more careful, but it was dark and I couldn't seen and I scraped my leg," Thomas said. He noted he received between 4 to 6 stitches to close the wound. He is dealing with a sprained MCL in the same knee, and Thomas is questionable for the team's Week 1 game versus the Detroit Lions. While he did not practice Wednesday, Sept. 9, he did ride a stationary bike on the sidelines and did some jogging. He plans to attempt to practice Thursday with the aid of a new, fitted knee brace. "I don't know why this it's taking this long. That's why I'm hoping I can go tomorrow. My doctor is going to check it out tomorrow and hopefully he gives me the thumbs up," Thomas said.
