The New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts published their official inactive reports ahead of their Monday Night Football kickoff, with a few key players on both teams forced to sit this one out.
For New Orleans, they’ll be without several starters while they work to return from various injuries. Left guard Andrus Peat (arm), middle linebacker Kiko Alonso (thigh), and strong safety Vonn Bell (knee) were each preemptively ruled out on the Saints injury report.
On the other sideline, the only mainstay the Colts will be without is cornerback Kenny Moore; all-star wide receiver T.Y. Hilton is making his return from a calf injury that has held him out the last two weeks, though he still isn’t quite back to his old self. Starting cornerback Pierere Desir is also returning from an injury that has limited his availability.
Here is the full list of players who will be watching this game in sweatpants. NFL rules stipulate that only 46 of the 53 players on the active roster may suit up on game days, so teams have to be very strategic in deciding who doesn’t dress out.
