ARLINGTON, Texas — The New Orleans Saints had good injury news at AT&T Stadium on Thursday, getting three players upgraded from limited to full participation.
Those three players returning to full participation were starting nickelback C.J. Gardner-Johnson (knee), safety P.J. Williams (back) and rookie linebacker Pete Werner (hamstring). Gardner-Johnson and Werner did not play last week due to their injuries. Williams was questionable with his back injury but he ultimately played.
Cornerback Marshon Lattimore (thumb), guard Calvin Throckmorton (knee) and rookie defensive end Payton Turner (elbow) remained limited with their injuries. Lattimore did not play last week against the Panthers, while Throckmorton and Turner sustained their injuries in that game.
For the second straight day, the only player who did not participate was center Erik McCoy. He has now missed five straight practices after he sustained a calf injury against the Green Bay Packers in the season opener.
