The dreaded New Orleans Saints injury report is back, and a day later this week as they prepare for Monday Night Football this week against the Green Bay Packers. They had a few injuries pop up in their Week 15 matchup against the Washington Commanders, and we got some insight into the severity of those injuries, and who may be able to play this week heading forward.
Some of the injuries remained as expected, with Derek Carr (left hand) and Bub Means (ankle) being held out for the first practice. There were also some newer additions however, including Alvin Kamara (groin) who had some recent updates that indicate his injury could be more severe than initially anticipated. Chase Young and Marquez Valdes-Scantling were also new additions, however, the latter was given a day off and should be back Friday.
The Saints also had Juwan Johnson (foot) added to the list, and Chris Olave (head) returning to practice and opening his 21-day availability window for coming off IR. Finally, cornerback Kool-Aid McKinstry (shoulder) was fortunately limited as a full participant after being injured in Week 15.
On the other side of things, the Green Bay Packers had Javon Bullard (ankle) and Quay Walker (ankle) listed as non-participants, both of whom are notable additions. Additionally, Corey Ballentine (knee) and Luke Musgrave (ankle) were listed as limited, with Jaire Alexander (knee) marked as a full participant. Musgrave is also inside his 21-day practice window, as he was designated to return from IR.
Here is the full injury report from both teams:
