New Orleans Saints running back Pierre Thomas missed a second straight day of practice Thursday with a right knee injury sustained during practice last week.

Despite the injury, Thomas played in the Saints' win over the Cowboys last Sunday.

Cornerback Jabari Greer also missed practice as he continues to recover from a concussion suffered in the first half against Dallas. Defensive tackle Akiem Hicks (left knee) also sat out for a second straight day.

Fullback Jed Collins returned to practice for the first time in two weeks. He appears set to play in the season finale Sunday against Carolina Panthers at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

Tight end Jimmy Graham (left wrist) and running back Chris Ivory (hamstring) participated fully in the workout.
