In this story:

We have a better idea of where the Saints are at in the health department after looking at Thursday's injury report. New Orleans enters Sunday desperately needing to find a way to win against the Buccaneers, and that'll be much easier said than done with all that they're dealing with. Here's how things looked for the black and gold, and you can check out the practice report here.

  • Derek Carr (oblique)
  • Lucas Patrick (chest)

The Saints had several upgrades from their estimated report, with Willie Gay Jr. being a noticeable name to practice in full.
