The New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers published their first injury reports for Week 1 of the 2020 NFL season, and several big name players are starting the week of practices on the sidelines. Here’s what we learned.
Starting defensive end Marcus Davenport was held out of practice on Wednesday with an elbow injury, as were rookies Cesar Ruiz and Blake Gillikin. Ruiz, the team’s first-round draft pick, hasn’t practiced since Aug. 27 after getting tangled up in a pile during a training camp session. Gillikin is the second punter on the team behind Thomas Morstead and wasn’t likely to be activated this week anyway.
