The New Orleans Saints and Los Angeles Chargers published their final injury reports ahead of Week 5’s kickoff on “Monday Night Football,” and the black and gold could be returning several injured starters after a week of practice.
Wide receiver Michael Thomas, defensive end Marcus Davenport, tight end Jared Cook, guard Andrus Peat, and cornerback Marshon Lattimore are all questionable to play after being limited in practice. Defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins is also questionable after landing on Saturday’s injury report with a thumb issue.
