The New Orleans Saints will be taking on the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 3, and the initial injury report for the Saints looks at least marginally better than last week’s did at this point in time.
New Orleans did pick up a couple of injuries during their matchup with the Dallas Cowboys, notably Taysom Hill (chest) and Cedrick Wilson Jr. (abdomen). Hill did not practice on Wednesday due to the chest injury, however, Dennis Allen did say he would like to see him on the field at least in a limited fashion for Thursday’s practice. Wilson was limited in practice, however, he did return for a few snaps after his initial injury which bodes well for the severity and his playing this week potentially.
The remaining players on the report were pretty much those who were anticipated, with D’Marco Jackson (calf), Khalen Saunders (calf), and Landon Young (calf) the remaining DNPs. Tyrann Mathieu (heel) and Taliese Fuaga (back) also are limited despite playing in Week 2, presumably in a precautionary measure more than anything to prevent aggravation of their injuries.
On the other side, the Eagles had a walkthrough so their practice was an estimation, which left A.J. Brown as a DNP as well as Johnny Wilson. Brown will be an intriguing one to watch once they ramp up regular practices in the coming days.
Here is the initial Saints side of the injury report on Wednesday Sept. 18:
Here is the Eagles side of the injury report as well, which is an estimation due to Wednesday being a walkthrough for them:
