Looking at the Falcons, starting right tackle Kaleb McGary remains sidelined with a knee injury, which is considered day-to-day. We should find out his status for Sunday following Friday’s practice. Jake Matthews was added to the report on Thursday, although his addition isn’t injury related and he will be fine for the Saints game (he and his wife are set to welcome their second child). Two names to keep an eye on are Bijan Robinson and Matthew Judon, as they were both limited in Thursday’s practice.
The Saints had a few changes to their injury report on Thursday, with the most notable being running back Alvin Kamara being upgraded from not practicing to being limited.
