Boom and Zoom were just reunited; but the Zoom looks like he could miss week 10 at Tennessee. Running back Alvin Kamara was out for a 2nd straight day at Saints practice with a knee injury.
This could be a big game for Mark Ingram, who needs just 20 yards to take over as the franchise’s all-time leading rusher from Deuce McAllister. Something about those SEC backs in Black & Gold. Deuce was a 1st round pick out of Ole Miss, while Ingram was a day one selection out of Alabama.
S C.J. Gardner-Johnson (foot) and T Terron Armstead (shoulder/foot) also did not take part for a 2nd straight day. Gardner-Johnson posted a photo of him in the Saints locker room and you can see he is wearing a walking boot.
Payton Turner was also not there and it was revealed the DE was put on the reserve/injured list. His shoulder ailment will cause him to miss at least the next 3 games. Turner was out two other contests, in week 7 & 8, with a calf issue.
The 28th overall pick out of Houston has appeared in five games, totaling 12 tackles, three tackles for loss, a sack and three quarterback hits his rookie campaign.
WR Ty Montgomery (hamstring) and DE Carl Granderson (shoulder) were limited.
Tight end Nick Vannett was elevated from IR to the Active roster.
