We’re closing in on kickoff between the New Orleans Saints and Los Angeles Rams in Week 13 at the Caesars Superdome, but some players will be watching this one from the sidelines. Whether it’s due to injuries or coaching decisions, each team reported their list of inactive players for Sunday’s matchup.
The big question for the Saints was whether Pro Bowl center Erik McCoy would be able to go after missing practice this week. He returned from groin surgery just before the bye week, but aggravated that injury against the Cleveland Browns and wasn’t fully recovered after the break. And now we know he won’t be playing on Sunday. It’ll likely be Shane Lemieux snapping the ball to Derek Carr from center this week.
You can find more information on the final Week 13 injury report, which we broke down in detail here. Here are the inactive players from each team.

- OG Lucas Patrick (injury)
