Saints’ Final Injury Report of The Season Features Two Players Listed As Out For Sunday’s Game
The Saints are taking on the Carolina Panthers this Sunday in the Dome in what is nothing more than the end of the regular season for both teams. After Tampa’s win over Carolina last week, the Saints and Panthers were officially eliminated from playoff contention. That doesn’t mean that either of these teams plan to sit their starters and take this as a meaningless game. Both of these squads started to put things together in the final month of the season as they both went on a three-game win streak. This game will give each team an inside look at what they are working with moving into next season. With that being said let’s take a look at who will not be suiting up come Sunday.
For the Saints, there are only two names that are officially ruled out as of today and those two are Andrus Peat and Paulson Adebo. Neither of these players comes as a surprise, Adebo has been dealing with injuries for the majority of the season and always seems to be on a game-by-game basis. After being listed out with an ankle injury last week against the Eagles, it’s not a huge surprise that Andrus Peat has been listed as out again this week. With nothing left to play for, there’s no use in further injuring one of your top offensive linemen.
There may be only two players listed as out, but the Saints have a handful of players who are listed as questionable going into Sunday. Some notable names include Taysom Hill who is dealing with a back injury and Ryan Ramczyk who is dealing with a hip injury. Both players were limited in today’s practice.
Here is the full injury report for the Saints.
