The Saints could potentially be without a pair of key players for the critical Thursday night matchup vs. the Rams

That said, they have been getting some good news as of late, with Tutu Atwell clearing concussion protocol, top corner Ahkello Witherspoon avoiding the missed time and starting offensive lineman Rob Havenstein set to return.

Unfortunately for their Thursday opponent, the New Orleans Saints, that has not been the case. 

According to their injury report, New Orleans star wide receiver Chris Olave (ankle) and starting offensive tackle Ryan Ramczyk (knee) are among several key Saints to miss practice Monday.

That is not the end of the concern for the Saints, however. Per the injury report, star defensive end Cameron Jordan was a limited participant in Monday's practice.

That pair of Olave and Ramcyzk in particular was also forced to miss the team's Sunday win over the New York Giants. And considering the quick turnaround to Thursday, their status going forward will be heavily monitored. 

'Doesn't Mean Anything': Rams McVay Not Focused on Playoffs

Without their top receiver in the lineup last week, Derek Carr still had a nice day throwing the football, completing 23 of 28 passes for 218 yards and three scores, and hitting 10 different receivers in the process. 

Defensive end Isaiah Foskey, safety Lonnie Johnson, and running back Kendre Miller were also held out of practice on Monday.
