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.

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.

DC Joe Woods said it was essentially a miracle Cam Jordan played through his ankle injury and anticipates more snaps for him this week.
