The second injury report of the week sees a couple of upgrades for the Saints, but the reality is there are several players not trending in the right direction for Sunday's game against the Texans. Here's how things look from Thursday.

  • DID NOT PRACTICE: Juwan Johnson (calf), Lonnie Johnson Jr. (hamstring), Adam Prentice (knee), J.T. Gray (hamstring), Landon Young (hip)
  • LIMITED: Cam Jordan (back)
  • FULL: Derek Carr (right shoulder), Andrus Peat (concussion),  Chris Olave (toe), James Hurst (foot)

Lonnie Johnson Jr., Adam Prentice, J.T. Gray, Landon Young, and Juwan Johnson were among those not spotted at Saints practice on Thursday. As we get closer to Sunday, we're going to see what the plan is at fullback and to compensate for not potentially having some big role players in the lineup.
