A.T. Perry (hand) added to Saints injury report for Week 1 vs. Panthers
Let's start with the positives. The New Orleans Saints upgraded star cornerback Marshon Lattimore (hip) to full participation on Thursday's injury report ahead of their Week 1 kickoff game with the Carolina Panthers, who listed starting nickel corner Troy Hill (heel) as a limited participant with a new injury. Both of those changes are in New Orleans' favor.
Now the bad news. Second-year wideout A.T. Perry (hand) didn't practice at all on Thursday after he saw a full day's work on Wednesday. A hand injury is obviously very serious for a wide receiver, so we'll keep an eye out for updates on his progress through the rest of the week.
If there's any consolation there, it's that Perry wasn't likely to see a huge role anyway. Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed continued to play ahead of him this summer. So did free agent acquisitions Cedrick Wilson Jr. and Equanimeous St. Brown. Perry will be fighting for targets regardless of his health.
Here is Thursday's updated injury report ahead of Sunday's game:
