Michael Thomas Suspended for Punching Teammate C.J. Gardner-Johnson

Michael Thomas is all about the catch, and now he’s found himself catching a suspension.  The New Orleans Saints receiver has been suspended one game for conduct detrimental to the team after punching a teammate during practice, a person familiar with the situation said.

The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because details of the altercation have not been released.

For better and for worse, Saints WR Michael Thomas and S CJ Gardner-Johnson may be the two most intense, competitive, volatile players on the team. This is a “for worse” moment but it also often serves them well. https://t.co/AacePm7DJq

The person said that Thomas, who has been working his way back from a Week 1 ankle sprain, was on schedule to make his return to action on Monday night against the Los Angeles Chargers until he lost his cool near the end of Saturday’s practice and punched defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson, the person said.
