Attendance improved on the updated New Orleans Saints injury report for Week 5’s road game with the New England Patriots. Starting right guard Cesar Ruiz returned to practice after being cleared in the NFL concussion protocol, and just three players were not spotted at Thursday’s practice session: starting tight end Juwan Johnson (calf), backup left guard Andrus Peat (concussion), and backup safety Lonnie Johnson Jr. (hamstring). However, backup offensive tackle Landon Young was limited with a new hip injury, so we’ll keep an eye on updates for his status on Friday.
