Lucas Patrick - Will play Thursday night Patrick (chest) is active for Thursday's game against Denver.
Impact Patrick was sidelined for Week 6 against the Buccaneers due to a chest injury. He was listed as a limited participant in practice Tuesday and Wednesday, and he will return Thursday and likely reclaim his starting role at center from Connor McGovern.

Kendre Miller - Active for first time this season Miller (hamstring) is listed as active Thursday versus the Broncos.
Impact For the first time this season, Miller is available to the Saints offense after completing his recovery from a hamstring injury that he sustained early in training camp. Having said that, Alvin Kamara also is suiting up, which means he should be good for his typical workload of 22 touches per game. As a result, Miller likely will be hard-pressed to see much, if any, action behind Kamara and Jamaal Williams.

Taysom Hill - Not playing Thursday Hill (ribs) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Broncos.
Impact After sitting out Weeks 5 and 6 due to rib fractures that didn't allow him to practice in advance of those contests, Hill was listed as limited on all three of the Saints' Week 7 injury reports. In the end, though, a doubtful designation forecast inactive status Thursday, which has come to pass. Juwan Johnson and Foster Moreau will continue to handle the bulk of the TE reps while Hill is sidelined.
OCTOBER 17 • ROTOWIRE
Derek Carr - Inactive Thursday Carr (oblique) is listed as inactive Thursday against the Broncos.
Impact The Saints left the door open for Carr to be available Week 7, perhaps as the team's emergency third quarterback, when they listed him as doubtful for Thursday's game. Instead, he'll miss a second consecutive contest due to the strained left oblique that he suffered Week 5 at Kansas City. Rookie fifth-rounder Spencer Rattler will start in place of Carr, while Jake Haener backs him up. Carr's next chance for game action is Sunday, Oct. 27 at the Chargers.
OCTOBER 17 • ROTOWIRE
Jermaine Jackson - Signed to active roster New Orleans signed Jackson off the practice squad to the active roster Thursday, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Impact Jackson rejoined the Saints on the practice squad Oct. 2 after being let go with an injury settlement during training camp. Jackson will likely serve as the Saints' top kickoff and punt returner Thursday against the Broncos due to Rashid Shaheed (knee) being placed on injured reserve.

The New Orleans Saints announced that they've placed wide receiver Rashid Shaheed on injured reserve due to a knee injury.

Equanimeous St. Brown - Elevated from practice squad St. Brown is being elevated from the practice squad ahead of Thursday's game against the Broncos, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Impact The saints are a mess on offense, with QB Derek Carr (oblique), TE Taysom Hill (ribs) and WRs Chris Olave (head) and Rashid Shaheed (IR - knee) all expected to miss Thursday's game. St. Brown could get a decent number of snaps Thursday night, but he never drew targets at a high rate when he got significant playing time for the Packers (2018-21) and Bears (2022-23). He has 110 career targets on 1,614 snaps and has never recorded more than 328 receiving yards in a season.

Rashid Shaheed - Out for season Shaheed underwent a full repair of his meniscus Thursday and will miss the rest of the season, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact The Saints placed Shaheed on injured reserve Thursday afternoon, ruling him out for at least four games. But not long later, Schefter reported that Shaheed's recovery timeline will be 4-to-6 months. Shaheed thus will turn his focus to getting healthy for the 2025 campaign. With Chris Olave (concussion) out Thursday against the Broncos, New Orleans' receiving corps will be composed of Mason Tipton, Bub Means, Cedrick Wilson, Equanimeous St. Brown and Jermaine Jackson.

Rashid Shaheed - Goes on injured reserve The Saints placed Shaheed (knee) on injured reserve Thursday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Shaheed thus will miss at least the next four games, but the meniscus surgery that he's undergoing Thursday in Los Angeles ultimately will determine if he has a chance to return to the Saints' active roster this season. If he ends up having a full repair, he'll be out for the rest of the campaign.

How to Watch Saints vs. Broncos: Time, TV Channel and Live Stream – 2024 Week 7
Payton Turner - Will play vs. Broncos Turner (knee) carries no injury designation ahead of Thursday's game against the Broncos.
Impact Turner was held out of the Saints' Week 5 contest against the Chiefs due to a knee injury. He managed to play through the issue Sunday against the Buccaneers, and even on a short week, Turner is slated to suit up for Thursday's contest. He's provided rotational depth at defensive end this year and has accumulated five tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, one pass defended and one forced fumble across five regular-season games.
OCTOBER 16 • ROTOWIRE
Nathan Shepherd - Good to go for Week 7 Shepherd (groin) was limited during Wednesday's walkthrough but does not carry an injury designation into Thursday's game against Denver.
Impact Shepherd has been listed as a limited participant all week after picking up a groin injury during Sunday's loss to the Bucs, but the 2018 third-round pick will suit up Thursday. Shepherd has logged 17 tackles (nine solo) through the first six games of the regular season.
OCTOBER 16 • ROTOWIRE
Pete Werner - Out for third straight game Werner (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Broncos.
Impact Werner injured his hamstring leading up to the Saints' Week 5 contest against the Chiefs, which has prevented him from practicing since. He'll miss his third straight game Thursday, and his next chance at suiting up will be Week 8 against the Chargers on Oct. 27. The Saints have played nickel corner packages more often in Werner's absence, which has meant increased defensive snaps for Alontae Taylor while D'Marco Jackson and Anfernee Orji have provided rotational depth at linebacker behind starters Demario Davis and Willie Gay.
OCTOBER 16 • ROTOWIRE
Alontae Taylor - Will play Thursday Taylor (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday's walkthrough but carries no injury designation into Thursday's game against the Broncos.
Impact Taylor injured his shoulder during Sunday's 51-27 loss to the Buccaneers. Even with the Saints on a short week, the injury doesn't appear severe enough for the 2022 second-round pick to carry an injury tag into Thursday's contest. Through the first six games of the regular season, Taylor has logged 35 tackles (26 solo), including 3.5 sacks, five passes defended and two forced fumbles.
OCTOBER 16 • ROTOWIRE
Cedrick Wilson Jr. - Good to go vs. Denver Wilson (ankle) was a full participant during Wednesday's walkthrough session and does not carry an injury designation into Thursday's game against the Broncos.
Impact Wilson's ankle is unlikely at 100 percent, but he's played through the injury for most of the regular season and will do so Thursday. Top wideouts Chris Olave (concussion) and Rashid Shaheed (knee) have both been ruled out, so Wilson should be on the field for three-wideout sets alongside Mason Tipton and Bub Means.
OCTOBER 16 • ROTOWIRE
J.T. Gray - Ready to rock Gray (calf) has no injury designation ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Broncos.
Impact Gray was able to log a limited practice session Wednesday and is now set to play through his calf injury in Thursday night's contest. The Mississippi State product is expected to serve as the Saints' top reserve safety in Week 7, playing behind both Tyrann Mathieu and Jordan Howden.
OCTOBER 16 • ROTOWIRE
Cesar Ruiz - Missing another week Ruiz (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Broncos.
Impact Ruiz was unable to practice Wednesday and has missed the Saints' last four games due to a knee injury, so being ruled out for Thursday night's contest comes as no surprise. Expect Landon Young to continue serving as the Saints' top right guard until Ruiz returns from injury.
