How terribly unfortunate for them

The Saints' official Twitter account passed along the news Wednesday that running back Pierre Thomas has been placed on injured reserve. He played two weeks ago, but was inactive on Sunday after battling an ankle injury. 

This comes a day after they placed leading rusher Chris Ivory on injured reserve. The Saints are now left with Reggie Bush, who's also been banged up with a sore collarbone after missing eight games with a broken leg, and former Seahawk Julius Jones.
