Let’s start with the good news: the New Orleans Saints did not downgrade any players on Thursday’s injury report, listing the same attendance and participation levels for everyone going into Week 13’s game with the Detroit Lions.
But they didn’t upgrade anyone, either. The Saints reported no changes for their five players who were held out of practice due to injuries. Starters including defensive end Cameron Jordan (ankle), free safety Marcus Maye (shoulder), and linebacker Pete Werner (shoulder/oblique) as well as wide receiver Rashid Shaheed (thigh) and running back Kendre Miller (ankle) were held out of practice again. Five other players were limited again, as was the case on Wednesday, including wide receiver Chris Olave (concussion protocol).
That’s not the case for Detroit. While Lions center Frank Ragnow (back/toe) was downgraded from full reps on Wednesday to non-participation on Thursday, four other players were upgraded to full work at practice after previously being limited: left guard Jonah Jackson (ankle/wrist), running back David Montgomery (foot), safety Tracy Walker (shoulder), and quarterback Hendon Hooker (knee), who has been designated to return from injured reserve. Starting linebacker Alex Anzalone (hand) was a non-participant again.
Here’s the full Week 13 injury report from both teams. Check back Friday for game status updates:
