Saints' Bub Means: Sits out practice Thursday
Bub Means (ankle) was a non-participant in Thursday's practice.Means was designated for return from injured reserve Wednesday and was a limited participant in his first practice since Week 8.

Saints' Bub Means: Returns to practice
Bub Means (ankle) was designated for return from injured reserve Wednesday and returned to practice as a limited participant, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.The transaction opens a 21-day window in which Means can practice without being placed on the active roster. He may have a large role once he's deemed healthy, having stepped in as a starter prior to suffering a high-ankle sprain Week 8. Rashid Shaheed suffered a season-ending knee injury around the same time, and Chris Olave later landed on injured reserve with a concussion. Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Kevin Austin have taken most of the snaps at receiver for New Orleans in recent weeks.

Saints' Bub Means: No practice Thursday
Bub Means (ankle) didn't practice Thursday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.With a high-ankle sprain in tow, Means' lack of activity so far this week isn't unexpected, and the New Orleans Saints could potentially make a ruling on his status for Sunday's game at Carolina as soon as they post Friday's injury report. With Rashid Shaheed (knee) out for the season and Cedrick Wilson (hip) also nicked up this week, Chris Olave, Mason Tipton, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Jermaine Jackson are the healthy wide receivers on New Orleans' active roster.

Saints' Bub Means: Sits out Wednesday
Bub Means (ankle) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice.Means' absence doesn't come as a surprise after he was removed from this past Sunday's loss to the Chargers with a high-ankle sprain, which typically results in a multi-game absence. The rookie wideout's status will likely receive clarity by week's end, and there's also the prospect of fellow receiver Cedrick Wilson -- who didn't practice Wednesday -- missing time due to a hip injury. Currently, Chris Olave, Mason Tipton, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Jermaine Johnson are the healthy options at the position on the New Orleans Saints' active roster.
