Saints WR Michael Thomas Was Suspended For Punching A Teammate During Practice

Michael Thomas has emerged as one of the least liked stars in the NFL and this surely won’t help.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Sunday afternoon that Saints WR Michael Thomas was suspended for his team’s Monday night matchup against the Chargers in New Orleans, but didn’t disclose why.

We have now learned that the punishment was for punching a teammate during a fight in practice.

#Saints star WR Michael Thomas punched teammate Chauncey Gardner-Johnson during a fight in practice, per sources. That’s why Thomas was ruled out for Monday’s game against the #Chargers for what the club is calling team discipline.
