The dreaded New Orleans Saints the injury report is back, and one day later this week as they prepare for Monday Night Football this week against the Green Bay Packers. They had a few injuries in their Week 15 game against the Washington Commanders, and we got a glimpse of how serious those injuries were and who might be able to play this week moving forward.
Some of the injuries remained as expected, with Derek Carr (left hand) and Bub Means (ankle) held out for the first practice. However, there have also been a few more recent additions, including Alvin Kamara (groin) who has had recent updates indicating his injury may be more serious than initially expected. Chase Young and Marquez Valdes-Scantling were also new additions, but the latter was I have a day off and should be back Friday.
The Saints also added Juwan Johnson (foot) to the roster and Chris Olave (head) returning to practice and opening his 21-day availability window to come off IR. Finally, cornerback Kool-Aid McKinstry (shoulder) was fortunately limited as a full participant after being injured in Week 15.
On the other side of things, the Green Bay Packers had Javon Bullard (ankle) and Quay Walker (ankle) listed as non-participants, both of whom are notable additions. Additionally, Corey Ballentine (knee) and Luke Musgrave (ankle) were listed as limited, with Jaire Alexander (knee) marked as a full participant. Musgrave is also in his 21-day practice window, as he was designated to return from IR.
Here is the full injury report for both teams:
