Tyler Shough back to full participation, Alvin Kamara and Chris Olave limited

New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough has returned to full practice participation after dealing with a left-hand injury sustained during Monday night’s loss to the Atlanta Falcons. His upgrade from limited status on Wednesday’s report signals confidence in his readiness, with the team now targeting his availability for this weekend’s showdown against the Minnesota Vikings.

Meanwhile, running back Alvin Kamara and wide receiver Chris Olave have also made progress in their respective recoveries, moving from non-participation to limited practice as they work toward full health ahead of the Vikings game.

The Saints’ defensive unit saw several absences and restrictions, with linebacker Kaden Elliss, defensive lineman Damon Godchaux, linebacker Anfernee Jennings, and cornerback Jayden Price all missing Thursday’s session. Safety Julian Blackmon, wide receiver Barion Brown, tight end Noah Fant, linebacker Carl Granderson, and guard Jeremiah Wright were listed as limited participants, while linebacker Jaylan Ford, safety Mike Reid, and safety Lorenzo Styles were among the team’s fully cleared players.
