The Saints have released their first injury report for Week 10 in preparation for the Minnesota Vikings.
This Sunday, the 5-4 New Orleans Saints will travel to Minnesota to face the 5-4 Minnesota Vikings. This is the first injury report for the Saints in Week 10.
Week 10 Injury Report for the Saints
According to Saints News Network’s Ross Jackson and John Hendrix,
Ramczyk and Graham were most likely given regular rest days. Both Foskey (quad) and Miller (ankle) left last week’s win over Chicago. They’ll be names to keep an eye on as the week progresses. Ross Jackson spotted Summers and Prentice during the media portion of practice.
Prentice has missed the last four games due to an injury. In recent weeks, the Saints have preferred DT Khalen Saunders over a fullback in goal-line situations.
Cory Littleton, a linebacker signed by the Saints last week, was signed off the practice squad and added to the active roster of the Houston Texans. This is also according to John Hendrix.
Injury Updates for the Minnesota Vikings
The biggest news out of Minnesota is that star wide receiver Justin Jefferson’s 21-day practice window to return from injured reserve has opened. Don’t rule out Jefferson playing on Sunday, but it seems unlikely. Even coach Kevin O’Connell admitted on Wednesday that expecting Jefferson to play against the Saints would be ”a little aggressive.
Both backup rookie quarterback Jaren Hall and wide receiver K.J. Osborn are dealing with concussions and did not practice on Wednesday. Defensive lineman Dean Lowry (groin) was also absent. In a light practice, starters TE T.J. Hockenson (ribs), LT Christian Darrisaw (groin), and LB Brian Asamoah (ankle) were limited.
The Vikings are already missing QB Kirk Cousins (Achilles) and RB Cam Akers (knee) for the rest of the season. In only his second week with the team, Joshua Dobbs will get the start at quarterback. Alexander Mattison will take on a larger role at running back once more.
