Thomas returns to practice, Callaway DNP

Man we need him back. We down to Trequan and Harris. We gots no WRs

I think Calloway shows great potential. He can be a solid member of the WR corps if he keeps doing what hes doing. I'd like to see him play with MT and Sanders at the same time though.

Calloway at the X, CGM at the Y, and Sanders at the Z would be filthy.

Saints WR Emmanuel Sanders said he had a 102-degree fever; will miss Bears game due to coronavirus

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders felt "loopy," he said — his mouth watering during meetings, nauseous.

He went through practice, running routes, but something still felt off.

"I was running, but I was exhausting so much energy into running that it felt like abnormal," Sanders said on Uninterrupted's 17 Weeks Podcast on SiriusXM/Pandora. "I didn't feel like myself.”

Sanders went into significant detail about his positive COVID-19 test on "17 Weeks," adding that because of it, he will also be out this weekend for the Saints' game against the Chicago Bears.

Sanders said he was upset at first about how he'll have to miss at least two games, but he said he quickly realized that having coronavirus is way bigger than football.

The Saints placed Sanders on the reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday after he tested positive for the virus. Because he's a symptomatic positive, he will have to be on the list for a minimum on 10 days, which 10 days out from last Thursday lined up with Sunday — the day of Saints' game against Chicago.

Additionally, 72 hours must have passed since he last experienced symptoms before he can return.

Sanders said he told one of the coaches that he felt weird, and that coach directed him to speak with one of the athletic trainers. The athletic trainers asked him a series of questions, where Sanders brought up how his wife mentioned the day before that she couldn't smell or taste anything.

He was immediately sent for additional coronavirus testing where he found out he was positive for COVID-19. He was sent to another doctor for another test and the result was the same: positive.

"I was just like, 'What the hell?' Because truthfully, I don't really go anywhere," Sanders said on the podcast, adding that he went out to dinner with his wife once and only takes his son to train for basketball and football.

Sanders said both he and his wife tested positive for coronavirus, but his children did not, so his kids are quarantining away from them back in Denver.

His symptoms didn't appear significant at first, registering a 97.9-degree fever on Thursday, he said. But on Friday, he said his temperature reached 102 degrees.

"Even if I would have showed up to work on that Friday, and we get tested every morning, they would have saw something because my fever would have been up there at 102," Sanders said on the podcast. "They would have noticed. So it was like actually perfect for me to get out of the building, because my symptoms really like hit that following Friday."

His other major symptoms: body aches and what he calls "weird, loopy-like feelings."

"Like, it feels like we're glitchy," Sanders said on the podcast. "Like when I'm walking it feels like if my wife was to talk to me, it feels like I'm skipping a beat every now and then. It's like the weirdest s— ever."

Every night when he goes to sleep, he said he prays that he wakes up feeling good, admitting he's fearful of waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to breathe.

"That's like my biggest fear in watching that s—, it intensifies my fears, right?" Sanders said on the podcast. "Because people can say whatever you want and everybody could say, ‘Oh yeah, I'm not scared to get COVID.’ But in the back of your head, and you may think you're healthy but in the back of your head, you don't know this virus. Nobody knows anything about this virus.

"You don't know how your body's gonna react and you don't know at any moment, like if shite will go south, right? So it was like scary at the same time. But at the same time I'm a God-fearing man so I understand whatever. If God wants me to go out with COVID I'm going to go out with COVID, but it's still in the back of my head.”
