Week 8: Saints Thursday Injury Report

Thursday's Saints injury report gives the offense a big boost with one of the team's key players returning to practice. However, it looks mainly the same from Wednesday's estimated report. Here's how things shape up for New Orleans.
DID NOT PRACTICE: Taysom Hill (concussion), Dwayne Washington (neck), Andrus Peat (pectoral), Payton Turner (calf)
LIMITED: Deonte Harris (hamstring)
FULL: Marshon Lattimore (hand)
Michael Thomas, Dwayne Washington, Taysom Hill, Payton Turner, Ryquell Armstead, and Lakiem Williams were among those players not spotted at practice. Not seeing Hill out there is what's most concerning. Concussions are no joke, and you would think he would have been back by now after getting hurt in Week 5's game against Washington. Even if Hill returns on a limited basis on Friday, you have to think he's game status is in question.
Although the Saints traded for Mark Ingram, he could not practice on Thursday. So, expect him in the mix starting on Friday. Sean Payton said that there's a 'high' chance he plays, which means we'll see him on Sunday to bring some major energy.

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
