Week 11: Saints Thursday Injury Report
The New Orleans Saints released their second injury report of the week on Thursday. New Orleans (5-4) plays at the 4-6 Philadelphia Eagles in a key week 11 matchup for both teams.
The Saints have lost their last two games. They sit just a game back of the first place Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC South.
Here's a look at the team's Thursday injury report.
DID NOT PRACTICE:
- LT - Terron Armstead (knee/shoulder)
- Taysom Hill (foot)
- RB - Alvin Kamara (knee)
- DE- Tanoh Kpassagnon (ankle)
- RB/WR - Ty Montgomery (hand)
- RT - Ryan Ramczyk (knee)
- DT - Malcolm Roach (knee)
Kamara returned to practice on a limited basis yesterday, but was a non-participant today after missing last week's loss at Tennessee. Without him, the Saints managed just 86 rushing yards in a 2-point defeat.
The offense would be even more limited without the versatile Hill, who missed his second straight practice just two weeks after returning from a concussion. Ty Montgomery is also expected to miss Sunday's game after a gruesome finger injury against the Titans.
Pro Bowl LT Terron Armstead also missed another practice after being sidelined last week. Versatile G/T James Hurst replaced Armstead and played well, with Calvin Throckmorton taking over duties at left guard.
The depth of the Saints offensive line could be tested even further if Ramczyk (knee) misses just the second game in his five-year career. Rookie T Landon Young, a se-round selection, could be in line for the first start of his career.
Defensively, Kpassagnon is tied with DE Marcus Davenport for the team lead with 4 sacks. If he misses, then we’ll see increased snaps for DE Carl Granderson. Roach played perhaps his best game of the year against Tennessee, but missed his second straight practice with a knee injury.
For the Eagles, only TE Dallas Goedert (concussion) and LB Davion Taylor (knee) were listed as limited participants in today’s practice.
