The New Orleans Saints cannot lose in Week 18. Well, they can. If they do, their playoffs hopes go down the toilet.

With a victory, they stay alive. They may have to do it without star running back Alvin Kamara, though. He's questionable and a 'true' game-time decision. 

Additionally, the Saints have six other players listed as questionable.

  • TE Juwan Johnson 
  • DL Khalen Saunders 
  • RB Kendre Miller 
  • WR A.T. Perry 
  • DL Payton Turner 
  • S J.T. Gray

Lonnie Johnson and Landon Young are the only two Saints players ruled out.

Check out the full Saints-Falcons Week 18 injury report below.

The Falcons ruled out linebacker Troy Andersen, safety DeMarcco Hellams, and center Drew Dalman. Cornerback Mike Hughes is questionable. 

New Orleans will hopefully have most of the players listed as questionable. Running back Kendre Miller was trending upwards towards playing, but he is now dealing with an illness.

Payton Turner will play on Sunday despite being questionable, according to HC Dennis Allen.

Overall, the week 18 injury report is a manageable one for the Saints. They've seen much more difficult Friday injury reports this season.
