    Tyler Shough said his left hand got banged up during the game but “nothing different than anyone else.” He said it’s a short week so he’s sore today but it’s not going to limit him. The Wednesday paper still lists him limited. Not a new designation.

    Saints injury report. The graphic lists the same Wednesday practice. Vikings: no players listed. Shough is limited, left hand. Walkthrough, so the report is an estimation.

    Kellen Moore said Olave needed no testing.

  7. Oct 7 · 3:16pMike Triplett / NewOrleans.Football

    Chris Olave listed as having a rest day, per Kellen Moore. Said not related to him looking dinged up at the end of Monday’s game. Alvin Kamara listed with a back issue, different from the in-game injury. Tyler Shough listed as limited with a left hand issue, but it doesn’t sound concerning.

  8. Oct 7 · 3:15pNick Underhill / NewOrleans.Football

    Moore says that Olave’s day off wasn’t related to the hit.
