The New Orleans Saints published their official injury report ahead of Week 11’s matchup with the Atlanta Falcons, with several starters returning to a full day’s practice: running back Alvin Kamara (foot), right tackle Ryan Ramczyk (knee), wide receiver Tre’Quan Smith (concussion), and defensive end Cameron Jordan (back), as well as nose tackle Malcom Brown (calf).
However, quarterback Drew Brees was formally placed on the injured reserve list while recovering from rib and shoulder injuries. Running back Dwayne Washington (back) and tight end Josh Hill (concussion) also did not practice. Cornerback Marshon Lattimore (abdomen) was limited again, and is officially questionable to play.
Meanwhile, the Falcons will have nearly all hands on deck. Despite limiting a few players in practice during the week and resting some veterans, they’ll take the field with every starter barring defensive end Dante Folwer Jr., who is on the COVID-19 reserve list. That includes right tackle Kaleb McGary (knee) and wide receiver Calvin Ridley (foot).
