The New Orleans Saints have avoided major injuries so far early in the 2023 season. Knock on wood there, though, fans.
They'll face the Green Bay Packers in Week 3. The latest injury report for both teams gives a clear edge to the Saints. Taysom Hill and Kendre Miller practiced fully. For Green Bay, Christian Watson and David Bakhtiari both did not participate.
Check out the full injury report from Thursday below.
For New Orleans, Hill and Moreau were both upgraded to full participation. The tight end room is healthy.
Additionally, Kendre Miller seems on track to play on Sunday and get the bulk of the carries. Alvin Kamara remains out for suspension, and Jamaal Williams is dealing with an injury that is expected to keep him out multiple weeks.
Ugo Amadi being downgraded to limited was the only downside for the Saints on Thursday's report.
For the Packers, their best two offensive linemen both missed practice on Thursday in Bakhtiari and Jenkins. Bakhtiari's absence was expected and a 'a part of the plan' for him this season. Keep an eye on his status, regardless.
Running back Aaron Jones did return to practice, albeit in limited fashion. That's a good sign for him and the offense.
Friday will be quite telling for both sides. So far, injuries are on the side of the Saints. That wasn't said often a season ago for New Orleans.
