The New Orleans Saints will not release a formal injury report during their playoffs bye week, but local media noted which players did not participate in the Saints’ first practice of the week.
Per Luke Johnson of the Times-Picayune and Nick Underhill of the Advocate, four offensive linemen and both starting defensive ends were not seen practicing during the portion of activities open to the media:
- LT Terron Armstead
- LT Jermon Bushrod
- LG Andrus Peat
- RG Larry Warford
- DE Cameron Jordan
- DE Alex Okafor
Injuries have been a problem for Armstead, Bushrod, and Peat as of late, but the other players likely just took a veteran’s day of rest after a long, physical season.
