The New Orleans Saints got some good news Thursday, with a pair of players upgraded to full participants.
G James Hurst and WR Chris Olave were limited for Wednesday's practice, but got in a full workload on the second day of practice. None of the five players who were listed as DNPs on Wednesday made their return, indicating their Week 6 status is in serious jeopardy.
