A number of big names littered the first injury report ahead of Week 9’s clash between the New Orleans Saints and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. All three of the Saints centerpieces on offense were limited participants during Wednesday’s practice: wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle/hamstring), running back Alvin Kamara (foot), and quarterback Drew Brees (shoulder).
Brees was spotted wearing athletic tape on his throwing shoulder in last week’s game with the Chicago Bears, so he’s clearly battling through something. While we’re a far cry off from either Jameis Winston or Taysom Hill starting in his place, it’s a situation to monitor closely.
