New Orleans Saints Wednesday Injury Report Prior To Contest With 49ers

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

The good news is that  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.

Four players did not practice on Wednesday, 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), and linebacker David Hawthorne (hand), who was inactive for the Carolina game.

Three players were also listed as limited, including running back Mark Ingram (shoulder), center Jonathan Goodwin (knee/ankle) and receiver Kenny Stills (thigh).

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), defensive end Justin Smith (non-injury related),
and linebacker Patrick Willis (toe), while four more was listed as limited, including cornerback Tramaine Brock (toe), running back Frank Gore (hip), receiver Brandon Lloyd (hamstring), and nose tackle Ian Williams (shin).

Kickoff time on Sunday is scheduled for noon.
