Here’s some good news: the New Orleans Saints upgraded three starters on their Week 12 injury report, suggesting quarterback Derek Carr and left guard James Hurst will play against the Atlanta Falcons, as will right tackle Ryan Ramczyk.
Carr cleared concussion protocol and was a full participation at practice after receiving treatment earlier in the week. Hurst missed practice on Wednesday dealing with an illness but returned to a full day of reps on Thursday. Ramczyk, who had been out with his usual veteran’s rest day, practiced on a limited basis. Rookie defensive end Isaiah Foskey (quad) was also limited.
Just two Saints players were not participating on Wednesday and Thursday: starting cornerback Marshon Lattimore and rookie running back Kendre Miller, both managing ankle injuries.
Here’s the full injury report from Thursday for both teams:
