Between the New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers, there were a whopping 29 players listed on the initial injury report, a group that includes QB Derek Carr.
The Saints starting QB was a limited participant and his availability for Week 14 will be contingent on whether he can clear the concussion protocol, though head coach Dennis Allen said the rib and shoulder injuries he's working back from likely wouldn't keep him out.
Seven Saints players did not participate at all, including QB Taysom Hill who appeared on the injury report with foot and hand injuries, and DE Isaiah Foskey, who appears to have had a recurrence of the quad injury that kept him out Weeks 9-12.
