Thomas has played in seven games, making 40 catches for 438 yards and no scores.

The inactives for New Orleans include cornerback Ken Crawley, offensive lineman Derrick Kelly, receiver Austin Carr, defensive end Trey Hendrickson (neck), defensive lineman Malcolm Roach, running back Ty Montgomery and receiver Juwan Johnson.

Chicago's inactives are inside linebacker Roquan Smith (elbow), receiver Darnell Mooney (ankle), cornerback Jaylon Johnson (shoulder), cornerback Buster Skrine (concussion), offensive lineman Lachavious Simmons, nose tackle Daniel McCullers and outside linebacker Trevis Gipson.
