METAIRIE, La. — There were a pair of big returns to practice for the New Orleans Saints this week. With them, the Saints’ trenches could look a lot different Week 6 going up against the New England Patriots.
Here is the information from the Saints and Patriots first injury report of the week.
New Orleans Saints
Did Not Participate
- CB Isaac Yiadom (hamstring)
Limited Participation
- TE Juwan Johnson (ankle)
- RB Alvin Kamara (ankle)
- T/G Trevor Penning (ankle)
- S Justin Reid (concussion protocol)
- C/G Cesar Ruiz (ankle)
- DE Chase Young (calf)
Full Participation
- OL Dillon Radunz (toe)
- DT John Ridgeway III (shoulder)
With Ruiz and Young back, the Saints’ offensive line and defensive line could see a big boost going up against New England. The long-awaited debut of Young could finally be on the way sooner rather than later.
Kamara’s ankle injury took place in practice, a continuing issue for the Saints. But reports suggest that the injury is not substantial.
Alvin Kamara’s ankle injury isn’t anything serious, per source. He’ll be day-to-day this week.

The Patriots are dealing with a fair share of injuries along the defensive line as the Saints’ offensive line looks to be getting up to strength. That will be worth tracking throughout the week.
