New Orleans Saints Thursday Injury Report Prior To Game Against 49ers

The New Orleans Saints listed eight players on their injury report on Thursday, three days prior to their match-up with the San Francisco 49ers at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans.

For the second-consecutive day, tight end Jimmy Graham practiced fully for the first time since sustaining a shoulder injury against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers back on October 5.

Graham, who actually didn’t miss a game due to the injury, but was limited in a game action, leads the team with 46 receptions for 518 yards and five touchdowns.

Five players did not practice at on Thursday, including right tackle Zach Strief, who left the October 30 game against the Carolina Panthers with a chest injury, running backs Khiry Robinson (arm) and Pierre Thomas (rib/shoulder), linebacker David Hawthorne (hand), who was inactive for the Carolina game, and receiver Robert Meachem, who was the only newcomer to the list, as compared to Wednesday.

Three players were also listed as limited, including running back Mark Ingram (shoulder), center Jonathan Goodwin (knee/ankle) and receiver Kenny Stills (thigh), who were all listed as limited on Wednesday's report as well.

Goodwin has been absent the last two games after starting 92 consecutive contests, a streak that was second among active centers.

For San Francisco, three players did not participate in their Wednesday practice, including linebacker Dan Skuta (ankle), and linebacker Patrick Willis (toe).

Five more players for the 49ers were listed as limited, including cornerback Tramaine Brock (toe), running back Frank Gore (hip), receiver Brandon Lloyd (hamstring), nose tackle Ian Williams (shin), and defensive tackle Quinton Dial, who was the only newcomer to the list, as compared to Wednesday's report.

Kickoff time on Sunday is scheduled for noon.
