The New Orleans Saints have a hefty list of players on their initial injury report, though it's not all bad news.
Guard Nick Saldiveri has returned to full participation, a welcome sight considering starter Lucas Patrick is continuing to miss time with a toe issue that cropped up during the Week 1 win over the Panthers. The Saints will also have a question mark lingering over Marshon Lattimore all week, with the star CB leaving Week 1 early due to a hamstring injury and missing the first day of this week's practice with the same issue.
Here's the initial Saints' injury report heading into Week 2.
LP = limited participation; FP = full participation; DNP = did not participate
- LB D'Marco Jackson (calf): DNP
- CB Marshon Lattimore (hip/hamstring): DNP
- S Tyrann Mathieu (heel): DNP
- G Lucas Patrick (toe): DNP
- DT Khalen Saunders (calf): DNP
- LB Jaylan Ford (hamstring): LP
- LT Taliese Fuaga (back): LP
- TE Dallin Holker (ankle): LP
- TE Foster Moreau (concussion): LP
- WR A.T. Perry (hand): LP
- G Nick Saldiveri (calf): FP
- WR Rashid Shaheed (finger): FP
- RB Jamaal Williams (shoulder): FP
Tyrann Mathieu was the only other new DNP this week as he works through a heel issue. D'Marco Jackson and Khalen Saunders also missed the full week of practice ahead of Week 1. Tight end Foster Moreau's status will be one to watch as he works through the concussion protocol, though getting back to limited participation on Wednesday is a positive development. The same could be said for linebacker Jaylan Ford, who practiced in a limited capacity for the first time since suffering a hamstring injury in camp. A.T. Perry missed Week 1 with a hand issue, but was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Two more new additions to the injury report are Rashid Shaheed and Jamaal Williams, though both players practiced in full.
Here's how things stacked up on the Cowboys' side of the equation.
- TE Jake Ferguson (knee): DNP
- DE Marshawn Kneeland (calf): DNP
- TE John Stephens (hamstring): DNP
- WR Brandin Cooks (NIR-rest): LP
- CB CJ Goodwin (foot): LP
- LB Eric Kendricks (NIR-rest): LP
- DE DeMarcus Lawrence (NIR-rest): LP
- G Zack Martin (NIR-rest): LP
The Saints will be navigating complications due to Hurricane Francine this week, but are currently planning to travel on Saturday for a showdown with Dallas in Week 2 (noon). Catch all the action on WWL.
