The New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers are both beat up as they prepare for their second meeting. The Saints added defensive tackle Ethan Ridgeway to their injury report marking the 15th player for New Orleans. The Saints will be thin at cornerback on Sunday as they downgraded rookie Kool-Aid McKinstry to DNP along with Marshon Lattimore and Rico Payton. Safety Tyrann Mathieu returned to practice after missing Wednesday due to illness.
The Panthers have 17 players listed on their injury report, but four are non-injury-related rest days. Carolina added rookie wide receiver Xavier Legette on Thursday after he suffered a toe injury in practice.
