The New Orleans Saints' injury report got even longer on Thursday, but it wasn't completely due to injury.
There appears to be some sort of bug circulating around the locker room. Alvin Kamara missed practice on Wednesday but was able to return on Thursday. Marcus Maye, who was already listed with a hamstring, had an illness added. Beyond that, guard Max Garcia and TE Jimmy Graham were limited on Thursday with an illness.
The only players who did not participate in any capacity were James Hurst and J.T. Gray, who was downgraded after a limited practice on Wednesday. See the full Saints injury report below:
DNP = did not participate; LP = limited participation; FP = full participation
- G James Hurst (ankle): DNP | DNP
- RB Alvin Kamara (illness): DNP | FP
- TE Juwan Johnson (calf): LP | LP
- S J.T. Gray (hamstring): LP | DNP
- OT Landon Young (hip): LP | LP
- OT Ryan Ramczyk (concussion): LP | FP
- LB Demario Davis (knee): LP | LP
- S Tyrann Mathieu (foot): LP | LP
- S Marcus Maye (hamstring/illness): LP | LP
- QB Taysom Hill (chest): LP | LP
- CB Alontae Taylor (hip): na/ LP
- G Max Garcia (illness): n/a | LP
- TE Jimmy Graham (illness): n/a | LP
A good sign for the Saints is the return of Ryan Ramczyk to full participation, and indicator that he is progressing through the concussion protocol. His status will be an important one to watch throughout the week. Alontae Taylor was also an addition to the injury report on Thursday with a hip issue.
On the Colts' side there were no additions, but one player was upgraded to limited in RB Zack Moss.
- CB JuJu Brents (quad): DNP | DNP
- TE Kylen Granson (concussion): DNP | DNP
- DT Eric Johnson II (ankle): DNP | DNP
- RB Zack Moss (elbow/heel): DNP | LP
- OT Braden Smith (hip/wrist): DNP | DNP
The Saints (3-4) and Colts (3-4) face off at noon Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium.
