Saints Wednesday Injury Report | Week 17

Saints Wednesday Injury Report | Week 17

The importance of the New Orleans Saints‘ game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this week cannot be overstated. The Saints need to win. They will not be eligible for the playoffs if they lose. If they prevail, they will still require assistance but will at least ensure that they make it to the postseason, which was the very minimum expected going into the season. The Saints’ first injury report for this week supports head coach Dennis Allen’s statement that the club was “relatively clean” in terms of injuries following their Thursday Night Football loss to the Los Angeles Rams.

Week 17 – Saints Wednesday Injury Report

DID NOT PRACTICE: Jordan Howden (NIR-illness), Lonnie Johnson (knee), Ryan Ramczyk (knee)
LIMITED: Isaiah Foskey (quadriceps), Jimmy Graham (rest), Cam Jordan (ankle), Erik McCoy (foot), Chris Olave (ankle), Kendre Miller (ankle), Payton Turner (toe)

As anticipated, the Saints appear to be in good shape heading into Week 17. It appears possible that Howden could make it back in time for the game, barring any dire circumstances. This week’s absence of fellow safety Marcus Maye and Johnson would be crucial for the New Orleans defence. It’s also worth observing when Foskey resumes practicing following a few weeks off due to a quadriceps ailment.

Buccaneers Wednesday Injury Report

DID NOT PRACTICE: Shaq Barrett (groin), Carlton Davis (concussion), Ko Kieft (shoulder)
FULL: Rakim Jarrett (quadriceps), Mike Greene (calf)
