The New Orleans Saints have a crowded injury report for Week 14. Their NFC South matchup against the Carolina Panthers may get tougher than many expect. 

After missing practice on Wednesday, Taysom Hill did not practice once again on Thursday. Chris Olave joined the injury report with an illness after practicing on Wednesday.

Check out the entire Saints injury report for Thursday, December 7th below. 

Derek Carr practiced again on Thursday. According to reports, he looks like his normal self when it comes to making throws and moving around. It's a strong possibility that he clears concussion protocol and starts on Sunday.

For Hill and Olave, New Orleans needs them on the field, but they also cannot risk further injury. Rashid Shaheed has also not practiced this week, so his status remains cloudy. Michael Thomas remains on injured reserve.

Kendre Miller and Isaiah Foskey also did not practice on Thursday, either. Cameron Jordan returned in limited capacity. Defensive coordinator Joe Woods believes that the veteran will play, as he did in Week 13, on Sunday. 

Keep an eye on Friday's injury report for the Saints. It will be very important for some key players. 

The Saints play the Carolina Panthers at noon CST on FOX on Sunday.
