METAIRIE, La. — New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore said Friday he feels “good” as the team prepares to face the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
Lattimore was not listed as injured Friday, indicating he is likely to return after missing last week’s game with a hamstring injury.
Saints coach Dennis Allen held Lattimore out of the Saints’ 44-19 win over the Dallas Cowboys last week as a precaution. Allen said he didn’t want to aggravate Lattimore’s hamstring injury.
The Saints started rookie Kool-Aid McKinstry in place of Lattimore.
“I’m good. I feel good. I’ve been running around and I feel good,” Lattimore told reporters Friday. “We’ll see. Obviously the game is different than practice.” [or] “I didn’t do anything like that. We’ll see when I’m on the pitch on Sunday how I feel.”
Tight end Taysom Hill is officially questionable to play with a chest injury after practicing the past two days. Hill was taken to the hospital for evaluation after leaving last week’s game in the third quarter, but he flew home with the team and practiced Thursday.
“He’s doing great. He’ll be listed as doubtful on the injury report and we’ll see how he does in the next few days,” Allen said Friday. “If he’s able to play, he’ll be on the field, for sure.”
Allen said replacing Hill if he’s out would be a challenge because he plays a variety of roles for the Saints (2-0).
“He does so many different things for us,” Allen said. “It’s not like you just have one guy who takes care of it and plays his role. It takes a group of guys to play his role. He’s obviously a big part of what we do.”
