The New Orleans Saints and Pittsburgh Steelers posted their final injury reports for Week 16, updating the status of some players and ruling others out for their upcoming kickoff. Here’s what we know.
From the Saints
New Orleans again missed its backup left tackle with Jermon Bushrod (hamstring) not appearing in their final practice session. The good news is Terron Armstead (pectoral), their newly-minted Pro Bowl starter, was a full participant after two days of limited reps and looks to be ready to play again. This was also true of center Max Unger (concussion) who was pulled from their Monday Night Football game. The Saints may have their starting five offensive linemen back together.
From the Steelers
Pittsburgh preemptively ruled out running back James Conner (ankle), and listed wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (groin) as questionable after his early exit from their Dec. 20 practice.
Those are two serious absences for the Steelers, though Smith-Schuster still isn’t confirmed to miss the game. Rookies Jaylen Samuels and James Washington figure to see bigger roles against the Saints....
