Week 17: Saints Inactives List vs. Buccaneers

In this story:
The Saints previously ruled out two players ahead of their Week 17 NFC South matchup against the Buccaneers, but have since placed one of them (Ryan Ramczyk) on injured reserve. Here's a look at the inactives for New Orleans in a must-win game.
- QB Jake Haener
- DB Cameron Dantzler
- RB Kendre Miller (ankle)
- DB Lonnie Johnson (knee)
- DE Isaiah Foskey (quadricep)
- LB Monty Rice
Miller (ankle), Foskey (quadricep), Alvin Kamara (illness) and Lou Hedley (illness) were all questionable coming into this game, as was Payton Turner (toe). However, Turner was ruled out when the Saints announced their Saturday transactions. Cameron Erving was signed to the active roster in the corresponding move to Ramczyk going on IR, while Shemar Jean-Charles was elevated from the practice squad.
Miller misses another game for the Saints, as he hasn't been seen since he exited the game in Week 9 against the Bears. He was never placed on injured reserve, and at the beginning of December Dennis Allen said that he did not suffer a setback, but the progress he was making stalled. Between Foskey, Miller, and Nick Saldiveri, the top draft picks in Rounds 2-4 have appeared in just a combined 20 games for the Saints.

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
