Saints rule out 4 ahead of Week 16 MNF showdown vs. Packers

There aren’t many surprises on the New Orleans Saints’ final injury report of the week. Ahead of their game against the Green Bay Packers, the Saints ruled out four players and listed one as questionable.

Derek Carr, Alvin Kamara and Chris Olave were all ruled out, but that was the expected procedure for all three players. Darren Rizzi said Carr and Kamara were going to miss the Monday night matchup earlier this week.

Olave was designated to return from injured reserve, but a return to action this week shouldn’t have been expected.

Juwan Johnson and Chase Young elevated to full participants on Saturday and have no injury designation. Johnson followed this same path last week. He was limited the first two days of practice before being a full participant on the final day.

Bub Means was the last player ruled out, and the expectation is he will go back to injured reserve after a setback. The injury report closes out with Marquez Valdes-Scantling designated as questionable with a chest injury and illness.
