No new injury reports were released Saturday, which means most of the players who were limited at practice this week will probably play Sunday when the New Orleans Saints host the Atlanta Falcons.
In the case of the Saints, that means tight end Jeremy Shockey, who dinged a quad at practice Thursday, remains probable, as Coach Sean Payton listed him Friday.
And for the Falcons, running back Michael Turner, who has been nursing a groin injury but nevertheless participated fully in practice Thursday and Friday, is expected to go. Wide receiver Michael Jenkins, another starter, is still listed as questionable.
Payton had already made it clear that cornerback Randall Gay, who suffered a concussion at San Francisco and was not cleared through his independent examination, is scratched. So is linebacker Anthony Waters, who is nursing a hamstring injury. Running back Reggie Bush’s broken tibula has him out for an undetermined number of weeks.
