The New Orleans Saints will welcome starting defensive end Marcus Davenport back into the lineup against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 5. Davenport missed the first three games with an elbow injury suffered in training camp, and a last-minute toe issue held him out of Week 4; he was listed as questionable for this game, but now he’s ready to help his team go into the bye week with a winning record.

That doesn’t mean the Saints are back at full strength, though. Superstar wide receiver Michael Thomas has been suspended for one game after fighting with safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson in practice, so it’ll fall to the rest of the receiving corps to help carry the offense. Expect a lot of looks to Offensive Player of the Year candidate Alvin Kamara and veteran receiver Emmanuel Sanders, who has faced the Chargers 10 times in his NFL career.

Here’s your full inactives list for both teams in Week 5:

From the Saints

  • CB Janoris Jenkins (shoulder)
  • CB Justin Hardee (hamstring)
  • WR Deonte Harris (hamstring)
  • WR Michael Thomas (suspension)
  • TE Adam Trautman
  • OT Ethan Greenidge
  • DT Malcolm Roach

From the Chargers

  • RT Bryan Bulaga (back)
  • RG Trai Turner (groin)
  • QB Tyrod Taylor (ribs/chest)
  • WR Jason Moore Jr.
  • WR Joe Reed
  • S Jahleel Addae
  • DE Joe Gaziano
