Running back Pierre Thomas remains on crutches to keep weight off of his sprained left ankle, but said he hopes to be using only a walking boot during the bye week.
"I feel pain all over my ankle," Thomas said. "They touch different spots and they say, 'You feel it there?' And I say, 'Yeah, I feel it there.' So I really messed it up. They say I really messed it up pretty bad."
Thomas said doctors have not mentioned the possibility of surgery and he does not want to consider that option at this point.
"I know if I have surgery, I'm done this season," Thomas said. "I'm not thinking that. I don't want that. I'm going to take that negativity and throw it away. I'm thinking positive and that I'm going to get back on the field."
