Injury Central: Pierre Thomas, Peyton Hillis Questionable for Week 17

Filed under: NFL Injury Report

Pierre Thomas had more carries in Week 16 than he had in the previous 11 weeks combined. He looked to be back, rushing for 63 yards and a touchdown, from that devastating high ankle sprain that kept him out of action for so long.

But Thomas tweaked that injured ankle in practice on Friday, and was not able to participate on Saturday. Missing practice on Saturday is not a good sign for his availability on Sunday, but the Saints say that he will remain on the injury list as questionable and be a game-time decision.

Peyton Hillis has been unable to practice all week because of a rib injury. He's listed as questionable, but the Browns have been optimistic all week.

Hillis is tough, as he fought through a knee injury last week but still played. It's hard to imagine bruised ribs keeping him off the field in Week 17.

His status for Sunday won't be known until the inactive list is presented. Hillis is a true game-time decision.
