Young (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Matthew Paras of NOLA.com reports.

Young will miss his third straight game to open the season after he was injured earlier this month in practice. Carl Granderson, Chris Rumph and Jonah Williams will likely continue to see increased reps off the edge for New Orleans.

Palmer (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Matthew Paras of NOLA.com reports.

Palmer has been a healthy inactive each of the Saints' first two games, so even if he's cleared to play, it wouldn't be a shock to see him inactive once again.

Shipley (oblique) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams.

Shipley left the Eagles' season-opening win against the Cowboys with a rib injury that eventually was reclassified as an oblique issue on Week 2 injury reports. He missed all three sessions last week before Philadelphia ruled him out, but he was able practice in a limited capacity this Thursday and Friday before a decision was made regarding his Week 3 availability. As long as Shipley is sidelined, AJ Dillon should handle most of the RB reps that don't go to starter Saquon Barkley, as Tank Bigsby didn't play any offensive snaps in his Eagles debut this past Sunday in Kansas City.

Ward (concussion) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Ward practiced in full Thursday and Friday but has one more hurdle to clear in the league's concussion protocol, according to James Boyd of The Athletic. As long as everything goes as planned, Ward seems likely to be on the field Sunday in Tennessee.

Jennings (ankle/calf) doesn't appear to be practicing Friday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

He could technically still get some work in once practice is closed off to reporters, but things aren't looking good for Jennings in Week 3, considering he didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday. If another absence is confirmed, it would likely leave him either ruled out or treated as a long shot to face the Cardinals this weekend.

Warren (toe) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans after being limited in practice Thursday and Friday.

The fact that Warren practiced twice -- albeit in a limited fashion -- after missing Wednesday's session suggests that he has a solid chance to be available Week 3, but he's one of just two Colts with an injury designation. Per Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis, when asked Friday whether the tight end -- who has been targeted a team-high 16 times through his first two regular-season games -- might be on a pitch count or serve strictly a third-down role this weekend, coach Shane Steichen said, "We'll see. We'll see how it goes." In any case, with the Colts kicking off at 1:00 p.m. ET, Warren's playing status will be known prior to the first wave of games Sunday.

Charbonnet (foot) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against New Orleans, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Kenneth Walker thus projects for a huge workload in a game the Seahawks are heavily favored to win. Third-stringer George Holani should also get some playing time Sunday, with either Damien Martinez or Jacardia Wright potentially called up from the practice squad. Charbonnet didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday and doesn't seem likely to do much, if anything, Friday. The schedule does him no favors here, with Seattle's next game coming just four days later, Thursday night at Arizona.

Radunz (toe) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Seahawks, Matthew Paras of NOLA.com reports.

Radunz didn't travel with the team to Seattle after logging DNPs at practice both Wednesday and Thursday. While the North Dakota State product recovers from his toe injury, Xavier Truss is expected to serve as the Saints' top reserve guard.

Vele (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Seattle, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Vele was tacked on to the Saints' Week 3 practice report Thursday as limited due to a hip injury, and his status now is up in the air heading into the weekend. Since his trade from Denver to New Orleans on Aug. 20, he's been a part of the Saints offense through two games, increasing his snap share from 23 percent Week 1 to 34 percent this past Sunday. Still, Vele has seen just four targets on his way to two catches for 16 yards and one touchdown this season.

Goedert (knee) was a full practice participant Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Rams.

He should be back in his usual, near-every-down role after missing Week 2 due to a knee sprain. Before that, Goedert got a team-high seven targets in a Week 1 win over Dallas, handling 82 percent snap share and 92 percent route share along the way.
