Saints initial Week 13 injury report: Erik McCoy status in doubt for Rams showdown

The New Orleans Saints finally got a week off, but they return with the same questions along the interior line.

Both Erik McCoy (groin) and Lucas Patrick (calf) missed the first two practices of the week, casting their statuses in doubt for Week 13 in doubt. The injury is particularly concerning for McCoy, who missed 7 weeks on IR after groin surgery. Patrick hasn't played since going out with a lower leg injury during a Week 9 loss to the Panthers.


McCoy got back into the action in Week 11 but left early due to a groin issue. Shane Lemieux took over at center and finished the game.

Here's how the Saints' initial injury report broke down on Wednesday.
FP = full participation; LP = limited participation; DNP = did not participate

- C Erik McCoy (groin): DNP
- G Lucas Patrick (calf): DNP
- TE Foster Moreau (shoulder): LP
- RB Jamaal Williams (groin): LP
- LB Pete Werner (hand): FP
- DE Tanoh Kpassagnon (Achilles): FP

The other two changes came in the form of returns for Jamaal Williams (groin) and Tanoh Kpassagnon (Achilles). The veteran defensive end has had his return-to-practice window opened this week after spending the first 12 weeks of the season on IR after suffering a torn Achilles during an offseason workout. Williams hasn't played since Week 8 against the Chargers.

The New Orleans practice schedule was adjusted this week to accommodate a day off on Thanksgiving. The Saints practiced Tuesday, mimicking a Wednesday practice, and Wednesday's practiced mimicked a Thursday. There was no official injury report for the initial practice of the week.

The Rams' side of the injury report was also short, with just one DNP. Here's how it broke down on Wednesday:
- OL Alaric Jackson (foot): DNP
- CB Charles Woods (ankle): LP
- TE Tyler Higbee (knee): LP
- OL Rob Havenstein (ankle): FP
- OL KT Leveston (ankle): FP

The Saints (4-7) host the Rams (5-6) in Week 13 for a 3:05 p.m. kickoff. Catch all the action on WWL and Audacy.
