The New Orleans Saints can play spoiler in Week 18 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the NFC South title. If Tampa loses and the Atlanta Falcons win, the latter will win the division. 

The Saints will just have to navigate the victory without their starting quarterback, backup running back, and potentially their top running back and wide receiver. Check out the full injury report for Sunday below.

Saints-Bucs final injury report

Derek Carr and Kendre Miller have been ruled out. Alvin Kamara is doubtful. Five others are questionable for New Orleans. 

For Tampa, cornerback Jamel Dean and safety Antoine Winfield Jr. are out.

 Tight end Cade Otton is doubtful, while defensive lineman William Gholston is questionable. 

No matter what – the Bucs will have the injury upper hand. Kamara has a doubtful tag, and New Orleans gets nothing out of a win but a move down the draft board. Meanwhile, Chris Olave is questionable and has returned to practice, but he is still a long-shot to play, according to reports. 

All in all, New Orleans will have a massive hill to climb with an interim head coach if they want to beat the Bucs in a game they must win to lock up the NFC South without help.
