Four questionable players are active
The Saints have wide receiver Jordyn Tyson, offensive tackles Kelvin Banks Jr. and Asim Richards, and cornerback Martin Emerson Jr. active for Week 9. Running back CJ Donaldson is inactive after being ruled out with shoulder and concussion issues. Tyson, Banks and Richards were limited in practice on November 6 with hamstring, ankle and thumb injuries, respectively. Emerson did not participate because of a shin injury. All four carried questionable designations but are available on game day. Alvin Kamara and Cesar Ruiz are also active after full participation on November 6. Justin Reid and Nathan Shepherd are active as well; both participated fully on November 4. Davon Godchaux was a full participant on the practice report. For fantasy purposes, Tyson and Kamara are available options. Active status alone does not establish how much either will play.
Donaldson among seven inactives
Donaldson did not practice on November 6 and will not be available in the backfield. The Saints also have quarterback Zach Wilson, offensive tackle Mason Murphy, defensive tackles Christen Miller and John Ridgeway III, linebacker Jaylan Ford and cornerback Mike Reid inactive.
