In this story:

The Saints held their second practice of the week ahead of Week 15's home matchup against the Commanders, and it raises a little concern going into Friday. The same players who were on the first injury report are on Thursday's report, with one change that's not Alvin Kamara. Here's how it looks.

DID NOT PRACTICE

  • Derek Carr (concussion/hand)
  • D'Marco Jackson (ankle)
  • Alvin Kamara (illness)
  • Bub Means (ankle)

LIMITED

  • Juwan Johnson (foot)

FULL

  • Tanoh Kpassagnon (Achilles)

Interim head coach Darren Rizzi had some optimism that Kamara could practice on Thursday, but clearly that didn't happen. He should be fine for Sunday's game, but we'll keep a close watch on where he's at. Bub Means is still in the 21-day return window, so it'd be surprising if we see him this weekend based on his practice trajectory.

We'll find out more tomorrow, including who starts at quarterback out of Jake Haener and Spencer Rattler.
