rookie defensive end Trey Hendrickson is among a trio of players ruled as out for Monday night's game against the Minnesota Vikings.
Hendrickson, the Saints' third-round pick, is dealing with an illness and did not practice the entire week.
The Saints also list linebacker Nate Stupar (hamstring) and left tackle Terron Armstead (shoulder) as out.
Stupar suffered the injury in preseason action, while Armstead continues to recover from a June surgery to repair a torn labrum in his shoulder.
Linebacker Stephone Anthony, who was limited in practice the entire week with an ankle injury, is listed as questionable for Monday night's game.
