Thomas limited, Bell practices in full
News: Saints RB Pierre Thomas was limited Wednesday with a hamstring injury, but the Saints are expected to have both Thomas and fellow back Mike Bell (knee) back for Sunday's game against the Giants. Coach Sean Payton said he's not sure how he will split the carries. "Mike Bell is back, and we just want to see the progress of how he's doing and how Pierre is doing," coach Sean Payton said. Thomas said no one has spoken to him about the running back rotation plan. He anticipates the team will keep a good rotation and try to keep the fresh legs on the field at all times. Bell, who has missed the past two games with a sprained MCL in his knee, is being cautious about his return. "I don't feel like I have the mentality of running timid in my nature," Bell said. [...]

Thomas hopes to play without a brace in Week 6
Pierre Thomas will attempt to play without a knee brace for this time this season when the Saints return from their bye week in Week 6 , according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune.
Our View: He has rushed for 212 yards the past two weeks while wearing the brace, which he said has bothered him, so who knows how productive he could be without one. The Saints will be playing the Giants and their stout run defense, however, so it's anybody's guess how many yards he will go for.
