Let’s focus on the positives for the New Orleans Saints injury report. Tight end Juwan Johnson (chest) returned to practice on a limited basis Thursday after he missed Wednesday’s session, putting him on track to play against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.
But that’s the only positive development. A number of players still aren’t practicing because of injuries, including star running back Alvin Kamara (ankle). If Kamara can’t go, the Saints would have to ask backups Jamaal Williams and Kendre Miller to step up in his absence, and neither of them have really lit up the scoreboard this season. Both running backs are going into Week 18 without having scored a single touchdown in a Saints uniform.
