Whew. The Minnesota Vikings listed 11 players on their updated injury report ahead of Week 10’s game with the New Orleans Saints — who say just five of their own are actively receiving treatment for injuries. The Vikings players managing injuries outnumber the Saints two-to-one.
And it’s not like the Saints are missing some heavy hitters. Rookie running back Kendre Miller (ankle) and defensive end Isaiah Foskey (quadricep) were their only two non-participants on Thursday, and neither of them have played 100 or more snaps on offense and defense this season.
This is the healthiest the Saints have been at midseason in recent memory. If they can’t take care of business in Minnesota, they won’t be able to point to injuries as an excuse. Check the Thursday injury report for yourself:
