Saints' Cesar Ruiz: Logs full practice Thursday
Ruiz (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Ruiz is on track to return from a two-game absence due to an ankle injury. He should reclaim his starting job at right guard from William Sherman for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Falcons.

Saints' Mason Tipton: Absent from Thursday's practice
Tipton (groin) did not practice Thursday.
Tipton has now missed back-to-back practices to kick off preparation for Week 18. Prior to being ruled out for Week 17 he had logged three consecutive limited sessions, meaning the kick returner and rotational wideout appears to have since suffered a setback in his recovery from a lingering groin injury. Friday will represent his last chance to get onto the practice field prior to Sunday's regular-season finale against Atlanta.

Saints' Alvin Kamara: Another missed practice
Kamara (knee/ankle) did not practice Thursday.
Kamara appears on track to miss Sunday's regular-season finale against the Falcons, which would constitute his sixth straight missed contest. With Devin Neal (hamstring) having been placed on IR in Week 16, Audric Estime will be positioned to close out the 2025 campaign as New Orleans' backfield leader if Kamara indeed can't play Week 18.

Saints' Cesar Ruiz: Limited Wednesday
Ruiz (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
The Michigan product has missed the Saints' last two games due to an ankle injury, but Wednesday's limited session suggests he could be nearing a return. Ruiz likely needs to upgrade to full practice Thursday or Friday in order to avoid an injury designation in the Week 18 matchup against the Falcons on Sunday.

Saints' Chris Olave: Expected to miss Week 18
Olave (illness) is expected to sit out Sunday's regular-season finale against the Falcons after a blood clot was detected in his lung, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Olave's blood clot was reportedly detected early and is an issue he will be able to have treated without significant concern, but it will evidently cause the standout wide receiver to sit out New Orleans' regular-season finale. If Olave is indeed officially ruled out for Week 18, he will conclude the 2025 campaign with 100 catches for 1,163 yards and nine touchdowns (on 155 targets) across 16 regular-season appearances. Kevin Austin, Mason Tipton (groin), Dante Pettis and practice-squad member Ronnie Bell will lead the Saints' wide receiver corps Sunday, assuming Olave is unable to go. Per Underhill, Olave is in line to be discharged from the hospital Thursday.

Saints' Bryan Bresee: Remains out of practice
Bresee (knee) did not practice Wednesday.
Bresee didn't practice at all last week and sat out Sunday's win over Tennessee. With a DNP to begin Week 18 prep, his potential to return to action for New Orleans' season finale this coming Sunday in Atlanta is shaky, at best. Should Bresee need to sit out again, Jonathan Bullard and Nathan Shepherd (ankle) would be candidates for more defensive snaps.

Saints' Demario Davis: Dealing with calf issue
Davis logged a limited practice session Wednesday due to a calf injury.
Davis presumably picked up the injury in this past Sunday's win over Tennessee. His ability to post a limited session Wednesday suggests the issue isn't especially severe, though the veteran linebacker's status for Week 18 is still uncertain. New Orleans has long been eliminated from playoff contention, so the team doesn't have much reason to roll out Davis if he's not fully ready to play.

Saints' Mason Tipton: No practice Wednesday
Tipton (groin) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.
Tipton logged three consecutive limited practices prior to being ruled out to face the Titans in Week 17, so to see him now listed as a non-participant could indicate a setback in his recovery. If Tipton isn't able to gain clearance for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Falcons, expect all of Kevin Austin, Dante Pettis and practice-squad man Ronnie Bell to see increased opportunities behind No. 1 wideout Chris Olave (illness).

Saints' Alvin Kamara: Remains absent from practice
Kamara (knee/ankle) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.
Kamara has missed five straight games due to a sprained MCL suffered Week 12 versus Atlanta, giving him only two more chances to practice before Sunday's regular-season finale rematch against the Falcons. Of course, with New Orleans already definitively eliminated from playoff contention, there's little incentive in pushing the 30-year-old veteran back on the field if he's anything less than 100 percent healthy. Audric Estime impressed as the leader of the Saints' backfield against the Titans in Week 17, rushing 14 times for 94 yards and one score.

Saints' Jack Stoll: Out for Week 18 finale
Stoll (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons.
Stoll was injured in last Sunday's win over the Titans and will miss the regular-season finale. The 27-year-old tight end appeared in 15 games for New Orleans this season, making four starts, and caught six of 11 targets for 46 yards and one touchdown on 21 percent of the offensive snaps.

Saints' Chris Olave: Comes down with illness
Olave didn't practice Wednesday due to an illness, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Olave has been dealing with a back issue from time to time since Week 13, but he's suited up for each of the last five contests on his way to 31 catches (on 48 targets) for 429 yards and five touchdowns during that span. Now with an illness in tow, his status bears watching as the week goes on to get a sense of his potential to play Sunday in Atlanta.

Saints' Moliki Matavao: Notches first two NFL receptions
Matavao played 27 of the Saints' 54 snaps on offense and recorded two catches for 10 yards in Sunday's 34-26 win over the Titans.
After being signed off the practice squad prior to the Week 17 contest, Matavao ended up ranking second among Saints tight ends in playing time, with Jack Stoll's (knee) early exit opening up more snaps behind top option Juwan Johnson. Matavao took advantage of the added snaps by producing his first two NFL receptions, but the rookie seventh-round pick will remain far off the fantasy radar Week 18 at Atlanta so long as Johnson is available for the Saints.
