Thursday’s updated injury report for the New Orleans Saints featured just one change following their second practice session of the week: the addition of defensive end Marcus Davenport, who did not participate while in the NFL concussion protocol. Davenport was full-go in Wednesday’s initial practice, so this is a new injury for him.
Hopefully it’s nothing serious. He’s already battled through elbow and toe issues this year, and his return to the lineup added a ton of juice to the Saints pass rush; he’ll be badly missed if he can’t play against the Atlanta Falcons this week. Here’s the full injury report from both teams after practices wrapped up on Thursday:
