Sickness hits Saints shortly before Week 8 game vs. Colts
USA TODAY Sports

The New Orleans Saints have avoided the widespread injury bug to a much better degree this season than they did last season. 

That being said, a new bug has arisen for New Orleans - quite literally. There is a rough sickness going around the team late in October, and some players are missing practice due to it before they play the Indianapolis Colts in Week 8.

Check out the full Thursday injury report for the Saints/Colts below.

Alvin Kamara missed Wednesday's practice with the illness, but he returned in full capacity Thursday. 

Marcus Maye, Max Garcia, and Jimmy Graham were all limited on Thursday with the illness. Maye also has a hamstring issue. Their statuses are worth monitoring for Sunday.
