The New Orleans Saints will be traveling to Georgia to take on the Atlanta Falcons in Week 4, and their initial injury report does not look great, as it looks similar to their initial Week 3 report in the number of non-participants.
The Saints did pick up multiple injuries in their Week 3 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, with quarterback Derek Carr (left groin), defensive back Alontae Taylor (illness), linebacker Demario Davis (hamstring), running back Alvin Kamara (hip/ribs), and right guard Cesar Ruiz (knee) all being new additions to the list. The four DNPs are all players from this list, as Carr was the only one of the five who practiced, as he hit the full practice threshold.
In good news, tight end Taysom Hill (chest) has returned to full practice after his Week 2 injury, and defensive tackle Khalen Saunders (calf) has upgraded to limited from last week as well.
Linebacker D’Marco Jackson (calf) and offensive lineman Landon Young (foot) are both trying to work their way back from their respective injuries, and both started off limited which is a good sign, depending on how they progress through the week it could indicate they may be available.
On the other side of the report, the Falcons have only one player listed which is right tackle Kaleb McGary (knee), who did not practice as most expected. While this seems short, it is worth noting that center Drew Dalman (ankle) was placed on injured reserve just before this report came out, so the Falcons will be without at least one offensive line starter, potentially two.
Here is the full initial injury report for both teams:
