The Saints appear on the verge of getting some key reinforcements back for a Week 13 showdown with the Dallas Cowboys with an eye on ending a four-game losing skid.
That could come with Taysom Hill as the signal-caller, with the quarterback getting through practice with full participation for the second straight week despite a partial tear in his plantar fascia. That was also the case before Week 12, but he served in the backup role due to the injury. Reports indicate that if he is healthy enough to play, he'll take over the starting job that's been held by Siemian in each of the past four games.
But the rest of the players lining up in the backfield also represent a question. Alvin Kamara is listed as questionable, having missed the past three games due to a knee injury. His status will be one to watch on gameday. That's also the case for LT Terron Armstead and RT Ryan Ramczyk.
The good news: Mark Ingram did not get a gameday designation, indicating he is expected to play after missing Week 12 with an injury. Linebacker Kaden Elliss and DEs Tanoh Kpassagnon and Marcus Davenport are the only players listed as "out."
