Saints rule out multiple starters for Week 17 on final injury report

The New Orleans Saints ruled out multiple starters for Week 17’s Las Vegas Raiders game on Friday’s final injury report, most notably running back Alvin Kamara (groin) and quarterback Derek Carr (left hand). But they’re also down two starting offensive linemen in center Erik McCoy (elbow) and left guard Lucas Patrick (knee).

Four more Saints players are questionable, including cornerback Rico Payton (illness), a new addition to the injury report on Friday. Wide receivers Marquez Valdes-Scantling (chest) and Chris Olave (head) are both questionable, as well as defensive tackle Nathan Shepherd (eye). Olave remains on injured reserve but there’s been no indication he’ll be activated just yet.
