08/14/2008 - Metairie, LA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - New Orleans Saints defensive tackle Hollis Thomas suffered a right triceps injury in practice on Wednesday that will sideline him about two months.
A starter for much of his two seasons with New Orleans, last season he started 14 of the 16 games he played, registering 50 tackles and three sacks.
Saints head coach Sean Payton said Thomas injured himself during one-on-one pass drills in a practice Wednesday with the Houston Texans and then had surgery early Thursday.
With Thomas out, Sedrick Ellis, the Saints' first-round draft pick from Southern Cal, is expected to see more playing time.
Over his 12 seasons in the NFL, including his first 10 with Philadelphia, the 34-year-old out of Northern Illinois has appeared in 154 games amassing 474 tackles and 20 sacks.

JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.
Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.
MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .
''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''
Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.
He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.
''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''
Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.
Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.
With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.
