KEY MATCHUP: Metcalf against top Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore, a normally elite performer who is looking to bounce back after giving up a costly pass interference penalty and pivotal reception in the fourth quarter of last week’s loss to Minnesota.
KEY INJURIES: Most of Seattle’s key pieces are healthy, although RB Rashaad Penny was limited in practice because of a shoulder injury. CB Justin Coleman could be on the verge of returning and adding depth to the secondary. DE/OLB Darryl Johnson is out with a foot/ankle injury, but DE L.J. Collier could return from an elbow injury this week. ... The Saints will be without season-opening starting QB Jameis Winston (back, ankle), WR Michael Thomas (foot), DE Payton Turner (chest) and S P.J. Williams (quadricep) all missed at least some practice this week. Top running back Alvin Kamara has predicted he would return to the lineup after sitting out last week with a rib injury.
SERIES NOTES: The Saints are 9-6 against the Seahawks during the regular season, including victories in the past three such meetings. ... Seattle last visited New Orleans in 2016, when the Saints won 25-20. Seattle hasn’t won in the Superdome since 2004.
