Jameis Winston, Michael Thomas Not Practicing

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston (ankle, back, hip) and wide receiver Michael Thomas (toe) were not seen at the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday. The expectation was that Winston would return to practice after being a DNP on Wednesday, so his and Thomas' availability for the Week 4 game in London against the Minnesota Vikings is up in the air. If Winston is unable to go Sunday, Andy Dalton would get the starting nod under center. The Saints are hopeful that Winston can return on Friday. He's dealing with four fractures in his back in addition to an ankle and hip-flexor injury. If Thomas is unable to suit up, Jarvis Landry (ankle) and rookie first-rounder Chris Olave would have much bigger roles in the passing game, although Landry's status could be in question as well.
