Saints final Week 6 injury report: 5 players ruled out, 3 questionable

The New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Bucs will each have to make thing work without a host of key players, with both teams ruling five players out ahead of the Week 6 showdown.

There were no real surprises on that list for the Saints, with head coach Dennis Allen making it clear that QB Derek Carr (oblique) and S Will Harris (hamstring) were expected to miss the game. The team has also ruled out TE Taysom Hill (rib), LB Pete Werner (hamstring) and RG Cesar Ruiz (knee), all of whom have already missed games with those injuries and didn't practice at all this week.


Here's how the injury report stacked up for on Thursday.
LP = limited participant; FP = full participant; DNP = did not participate

- TE Taysom Hill (rib): DNP | DNP | DNP - out
- G Cesar Ruiz (knee): DNP | DNP | DNP - out
- DE Payton Turner (knee): DNP | LP | LP - questionable
- RB Alvin Kamara (hip/hand): DNP | LP | LP
- QB Derek Carr (oblique): DNP | DNP | DNP - out
- C/G: Lucas Patrick (chest): DNP | DNP | DNP - questionable
- S Will Harris (hamstring): DNP | DNP | DNP - out
- LB Pete Werner (hamstring): DNP | DNP | DNP - out
- WR Rashid Shaheed (hip): DNP | LP | LP
- LB Willie Gay (hand): LP | FP | FP
- RB Kendre Miller (hamstring): FP | FP | FP - questionable

The Saints will have to wait and see for players like DE Payton Turner (knee), who returned to practice this week, and LG/C Lucas Patrick (chest), who did not practice at all this week but was listed as questionable. Allen is staying mum on the potential for Kendre Miller's return from IR, though the second-year running back was a full participant all week and his return is most likely contingent of the coaches' confidence that he can operate in the scheme.

The Bucs, who have been operating out of New Orleans this week due to Hurricane Milton, have a long list of injuries themselves.

Here's how the Bucs' side of the injury report shook out on Wednesday.
- C Graham Barton (hamstring): DNP | DNP | DNP - out
- DB Christian Izien (elbow/groin): DNP | DNP | DNP - out
- WR Trey Palmer (concussion): DNP | DNP | DNP - out
- WR Kameron Johnson (ankle): LP | DNP | DNP - out
- WR Jalen McMillan (hamstring): LP | LP | FP - questionable
- RB Rachaad White (foot): LP | DNP | DNP - doubtful
- S Jordan Whitehead (groin): LP | LP | FP - questionable
- S Antoine WInfield Jr. (foot): LP | LP | LP - questionable
- DL Earnest Brown IV (ribs): FP | FP | FP - out
- DL William Gholston (knee): FP | DNP | LP
- OT Luke Goedeke (concussion): FP | FP | FP - questionable
- DL Calijah Kancey (calf): FP | FP | FP - questionable
- LB Lavonte David (rest): n/a | n/a | DNP
- WR Mike Evans (rest): n/a | n/a | LP

The Saints (2-3) host the Bucs (3-2) at noon Sunday at the Caesars Superdome. Catch all the action on WWL and Audacy.
