C.J. Gardner-Johnson returns to practice on updated Saints-Titans injury report

The New Orleans Saints and Tennessee Titans updated their official injury reports on Thursday ahead of Sunday’s noon kickoff. New Orleans released an estimated initial injury report on Wednesday after going through a low-intensity walkthrough practice, due to the short week that followed their  Monday Night Football game against the Indianapolis Colts.

Several key starters will be worth keeping an eye on throughout the week, and their status during their first regular practice on Thursday is telling. Safety Vonn Bell still did not participate on Thursday, while rookie safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson, his backup, participated on a limited basis. His return to the practice field bodes well for his return from a concussion.

Injuries have been piling up along the offensive line. Starting left guard Andrus Peat, now almost a month removed from surgery on his broken arm, was again a limited participant in practice. His partner on the right side, Larry Warford, rested for the second consecutive practice session after last week’s scary knee injury.

Any changes to Wednesday’s practice status are noted in bold text. And as always, a final injury report will be released on Friday denoting each player’s status for the game on Sunday. Here’s what we’ve learned.
