To say the Saints look are thin at wide receiver at the moment is an understatement as four of the seven players not practicing Wednesday are part of that group:

Did not practice

WR Chris Olave (concussion)

WR Deonte Harty (foot)

WR Jarvis Landry (ankle)

WR Michael Thomas (foot)

CB Marshon Lattimore (abdomen)

DE Payton Turner (chest)

G Calvin Throckmorton (hip)

We did see Olave present for the workout, but was not doing any team drills. He was working off to the side with a trainer after suffering a concussion scoring a TD in Sunday’s win.

Limited for the Saints were:

QB Jameis Winston (back/ankle)

T Ryan Ramczyk (rest)

CB Paulson Adebo (knee)

S J.T. Gray (foot)

TE Taysom Hill (rib)

S Marcus Maye (rib)

DT Malcolm Roach (ankle)

Big positive seeing Winston back on the field for the first time in 2 weeks. He also appeared to be doing a lot more in the session then in previous Wednesday workouts. We’ll see if he’s ready to regain his role as the teams starter week 6 against Cincinnati.

For the Bengals, 6 players appeared on their initial injury rundown:

DNP

T La'el Collins (rest)

WR Tee Higgins (ankle)

T Jonah Williams (knee)

Limited

TE Devin Asiasi (ankle)

TE Hayden Hurst (groin)

RB Samaje Perine (abdomen)
