Three key New Orleans Saints players were upgraded to full participant status on Thursday’s injury report, and only two players did not participate in practice.
Defensive end Trey Hendrickson (neck), running back Latavius Murray (quadriceps) and defensive tackle David Onyemata (knee) were all outclassed on Thursday after being limited in Wednesday’s practice.
Tight end Josh Hill (hand) and goaltender Marcus Williams (ankle) missed practice for the second straight day.
Hendrickson missed last week’s game due to his injury, but appears to be on track to play in the regular season final against the Panthers this weekend. He’s in a three-way tie for third place in the NFL with 12.5 sacks.
Four Panthers players missed practice Thursday. Panthers coach Matt Rhule said on Wednesday that star running back Christian McCaffrey (thigh) would not play this week, while questioning the availability of left tackle Russell Okung (calf) and running back Mike Davis ( ankle).
Passer Brian Burns (shoulder) also missed his second straight practice.
Receiver Robby Anderson (groin) was upgraded to full participant status, as was offensive guard John Miller (shoulder), after both missing Wednesday’s practice. Defensive back Troy Pride (hip) was limited on Thursday after being held up on Wednesday.
