The Saints initial Week 18 injury report didn't offer optimism for an injured left tackle, but things could be a bit brighter on the opposite end.
Terron Armstead didn't practice Wednesday due to a lingering knee injury, but RT Ryan Ramczyk got in limited work as he attempts to return from a knee injury of his own. A return to some semblance of health for the OL could be a factor in the Saints finishing off a push to the playoffs, which will require a win over the Falcons in Week 18, along with a 49ers loss to the Rams.
Three other Saints players missed practice Wednesday, the most notable being pass-rusher Marcus Davenport. The duo of he and Cam Jordan has been a wrecking crew when both players have been available this season, combining for 19 sacks.
WR Tre'Quan Smith, RB Mark Ingram and WR Ty Montgomery also returned to limited practice after missing the matchup with the Panthers due to injury.
