There was just one change on Thursday’s update to the Week 18 New Orleans Saints injury report: running back Mark Ingram II (knee) did not practice after participating on a limited basis Wednesday. Every other Saints player previously listed on the injury report had the same status, including right tackle Ryan Ramczyk (knee), who was limited again. He hasn’t played since Week 10 due to injury and a stint on the COVID-19 reserve list.
But that also means that the four players who missed practice on Wednesday were still out with injuries: left tackle Terron Armstead (knee), defensive end Marcus Davenport (ankle), cornerback Bradley Roby (shoulder), and defensive back P.J. Williams (ankle). Obviously it would be good to get them back in the lineup, so keep an eye out for game statuses following Friday’s final practice session.
As for the opposing Atlanta Falcons: a few players were added to their injury report for a veteran’s rest day, but the big news is that rookie tight end Kyle Pitts (hamstring) was upgraded to limited participation and said he expects to play against New Orleans in the regular season finale, despite Atlanta having been eliminated from playoff contention.
