It’s been a while since we’ve seen Michael Thomas play meaningful minutes for the New Orleans Saints due to injuries.
However, it sounds like NFL fans aren’t too happy about now-deleted tweets from the Saints’ star wide receiver.
On Sunday, Michael Thomas had some choice words about the medical staffs that work with the NFL, per Dov Kleiman.
#Saints WR Michael Thomas tweeted and then deleted a couple of tweets saying that the "NFL medical sucks" and are uneducated and cheap.

Maybe Thomas was just trying to show support for Chris Maragos for winning $43.5 million in his lawsuit against the doctors who looked over his career-ending knee injury.
At the same time, Thomas’ recently deleted tweets sound like he might be calling out the Saints as well.
Even so, football fans didn’t seem to think Michael Thomas was the right man to call out medical teams in the league. Regardless if he was trying to make a point or not.
exactly his point

Some fans think Michael Thomas is being a bit hypocritical.
Says the guy who sat the whole year out with a toe injury

In the end, we just hope to see Michael Thomas back on the field one day. Maybe 2023 will be his revenge year.
