The New Orleans Saints have had quite a long injury report throughout training camp, including a total of 25 players being injured at one point or another. Some of the most notable additions have been Chris Olave, Marshon Lattimore, Demario Davis, Juwan Johnson, Bryan Bresee, and Paulson Adebo. These injuries vary in severity, but ultimately they have been primarily short to medium term recovery times rather than anything major. In addition to everyone on this list, backup defensive end Niko Lalos isn't playing though he hasn't missed practice with an injury.
Many of these players will be missing the Saints' first preseason game against the Cardinals, whether that be just a precautionary measure or preventative for further injury. Here is the full injury list for Saturday night's game, and what injury is ailing those respective players.
