The New Orleans Saints and Seattle Seahawks filed their initial injury reports on Thursday with updates on prominent starters like Saints center Erik McCoy and left tackle Terron Armstead, as well as a number of players from the opposing sideline. Seattle also rested several veteran players.
Additionally, tight end Nick Vannett and cornerback Ken Crawley were designated to return from injured reserve, but they’ve got to practice for a few days before being cleared to play. Because they and the other players designated to return this week (kicker Wil Lutz, linebackers Kwon Alexander and Chase Hansen, defensive end Marcus Davenport, and wide receiver Tre’Quan Smith) haven’t yet been activated to the 53-man roster, their status is not reflected on the injury report.
