Let’s start with the good news. The New Orleans Saints upgraded several players on their injury report update for Week 14’s game with the Carolina Panthers, with defensive end Cameron Jordan (ankle) participating on a limited basis after he had to sit out earlier this week. Starting offensive linemen Erik McCoy (shoulder) and Ryan Ramczyk (knee) both practiced fully after previously being limited.
Now the bad news. Five players were absent on Thursday including star wideout Chris Olave, who missed practice with an illness. The Saints were also down quarterback Taysom Hill (foot/left hand) and wide receiver Rashid Shaheed (thigh), plus rookie defensive end Isaiah Foskey (quadricep) and first-year running back Kendre Miller (ankle). And quarterback Derek Carr (concussion/rib/right shoulder) was limited again while remaining in the league’s concussion protocol.
Conversely, there were few changes from the Panthers, with two players who received rest days to start the week (cornerback Troy Hill and right tackle Taylor Moton) practicing on limited snaps. Outside linebacker D.J. Johnson was excused from practice for personal reasons.
Here’s the full injury repot for Thursday. Check back on Friday for game statuses:
