Saints sticking with three active defensive ends vs. Rams

LOS ANGELES -- The New Orleans Saints didn't have any major surprises among their inactive players for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams at the L.A. Memorial Coliseum.

The only thing that's a little surprising is that rookie defensive end Al-Quadin Muhammad is inactive. The Saints placed starting defensive end Alex Okafor (Achilles) on injured reserve last week, but the team is sticking with just three active defensive ends for this game -- Cameron Jordan, Trey Hendrickson and Hau'oli Kikaha.

The Saints have utilized just three defensive ends at times this year, but that was largely possible because Jordan and Okafor played so many snaps.
