The New Orleans Saints will be without at least one star with Michael Thomas headed to injured reserve, and another is expected to miss additional time.
CB Marshon Lattimore did not participate in the first practice ahead of a Week 12 showdown with the Falcons, and head coach Dennis Allen still would not rule out a trip to IR for the star cornerback. Otherwise it was mostly good news for the Saints, with QB Derek Carr practicing fully, though he's still in the concussion protocol, and rookie Isaiah Foskey getting back to work in a limited capacity.
See below for the Saints full initial injury report ahead of Week 12
