Saints Inactives List: Week 18

In this story:
The Saints ruled out two players ahead of their final regular season matchup with the Panthers. New Orleans is hosting Carolina for Week 18, and here's a look at who's out of action for the finale.
- S Marcus Maye (shoulder)
- CB Paulson Adebo (hamstring)
- DB Justin Evans (shoulder)
- WR Kirk Merritt
- OL Ryan Ramczyk (hip/rest)
- OL Andrus Peat (ankle)
- TE J.P. Holtz
- DE Payton Turner
The Saints elevated Josh Andrews and J.P. Holtz on Saturday, and we'll pay close attention to where Trevor Penning lines up in this game. Alontae Taylor is expected to start opposite of Marshon Lattimore, and there will undoubtedly be a few more lineup shifts.
James Hurst (foot), Taysom Hill (back), Ty Summers (oblique), and Juwan Johnson (quadricep) were all questionable entering Sunday. As always, while you wait for kickoff, be sure to hop on over to our Pregame Report to get caught up on all things related to this NFC South matchup.

I officially started covering the New Orleans Saints & other NFL topics in 2011. My work has been featured on various outlets over the years. I worked closely with Skyhorse Publishing in Fall 2018 to update the book, Tales From the New Orleans Saints Sidelines, which filled in all Saints material from the 2013-2017 seasons. Prior to joining Saints News Network, I served as the Managing Editor of SB Nation's Canal Street Chronicles for 3.5 years, and before that with FanSided's Who Dat Dish as the Managing Editor for several years. I have also had experiences of being a freelance Saints reporter for The Sun Herald in Biloxi, MS and a contributing writer for WDSU, a local NBC TV station in New Orleans. I have appeared on a vast amount of TV and Radio shows, both nationally and locally. For tips, comments, or suggestions, please contact me at johnhendrix@saintsnews.net
