New Orleans Saints Injury Update: Multiple Players Ruled Out for Week 17
Saints Suffer Further Blows Ahead of Crucial Panthers Matchup
The New Orleans Saints have released their official weekly injury report, revealing a significant number of players who are questionable or ruled out for their upcoming game against the Carolina Panthers.
Twelve Players Listed on Injury Report
Twelve Saints players were listed on the team's injury report following Friday's practice. Of those, two have been ruled out for Sunday's game:
- Right Tackle Ryan Ramczyk (ankle)
- Center Erik McCoy (ankle)
These absences will be a major blow to the Saints' offensive line, which has been struggling in recent weeks.
Other Injuries of Concern
In addition to the ruled-out players, several other Saints are listed as questionable for the Panthers game, including:
- Cornerback Marshon Lattimore (abdomen)
- Linebacker Demario Davis (ankle)
- Tight end Juwan Johnson (ankle)
- Wide receiver Michael Thomas (foot)
The status of these players will be closely monitored throughout the week as they prepare for Sunday's game.
Impact on Team Outlook
The injuries to Ramczyk and McCoy are particularly concerning given the Saints' recent struggles on offense. Without their starting right tackle and center, the team will need to find a way to protect quarterback Andy Dalton and generate a consistent running game.
The Saints are currently 5-10 on the season and need a win over the Panthers to keep their playoff hopes alive. However, the team's injury situation makes this an uphill battle.
