The New Orleans Saints continue to have a short injury report as they head into a Week 10 showdown with the Vikings, though two rookies were unable to get out to practice on Wednesday.
Both RB Kendre Miller and DE Isaiah Foskey left early in the Week 9 victory over the Bears, and neither was able to get on the field for the first full day of practice this week. The good news: Those were the only absences for the Saints among the seven players listed.
See the full Saints injury report from Wednesday below:
DNP = did not participate; LP = limited participation; FP = full participation
- RB Kendre Miller (ankle): DNP
- DE Isaiah Foskey (quad): DNP
- TE Jimmy Graham (rest): LP
- RT Ryan Ramczyk (rest): LP
- LB Ty Summers (hamstring): FP
- LB Demario Davis (knee): FP
- FB Adam Prentice (knee): FP
Aside from traditional rest days for TE Jimmy Graham and RT Ryan Ramczyk, the only other players listed with injuries got in a full practice. LB Ty Summers is no longer listed with a concussion, indicating he has cleared protocol and will likely be able to return this week. Fellow LB Demario Davis got in his first full practice since suffering a knee injury in Week 6, though he hasn't missed a game.
Fullback Adam Prentice has also returned to practice after spending four weeks on injured reserve with an injury. The practice window extends for 21 days with the option to add him back to the active roster. Dennis Allen wouldn't tip his hand as to whether that could happen this week. Defensive tackle Khalen Saunders has taken on blocking duties in Prentice's absence.
The Vikings' side of the injury report is much longer and also includes a player in Justin Jefferson that is having his practice window opening. Reports indicate that it's unlikely Jefferson will return this week, but it is an option if he's healthy and ready to go. The Vikings held a walkthrough on Wednesday.
