Head coach Dennis Allen said Friday that Lattimore (hamstring) won't play in Sunday's matchup against the Panthers.
Lattimore aggravated his hamstring injury in the Saints' Week 8 loss to the Chargers and was unable to practice all week, making it no surprise that he's been ruled out ahead of Sunday's divisional matchup. The Saints will be thin at cornerback in Week 9 with Lattimore, Kool-Aid McKinstry (hamstring), Paulson Adebo (upper leg) and Rejzohn Wright (undisclosed) all sidelined.

Saints' Marshon Lattimore: DNP to open week

Lattimore aggravated his hamstring injury during this past Sunday's game against the Chargers, and he finished the contest with two solo tackles while playing 41 snaps on defense. His DNP to open the week isn't a good start, but he'll have two more chances to practice before Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Rotowire
Lattimore (hamstring) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Chargers, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Lattimore suffered a hamstring injury in Week 7 against the Broncos, and while he was cleared to play Sunday, it appears he may have aggravated the injury and he'll end his day with two solo tackles.

Saints' Marshon Lattimore: Avoids serious injury
Rotowire
Head coach Dennis Allen told reporters Friday that Lattimore will be fine after sustaining a hamstring injury in Thursday night's loss to the Broncos, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
The Pro Bowl cornerback played 47 defensive snaps and recorded four total tackles before leaving the Saints' Week 7 loss to the Broncos due to a hamstring injury. However, Allen's comments Friday suggest Lattimore avoided a serious injury. Lattimore's practice participation throughout next week will be the best indication of whether he can play through his hamstring issue moving forward.

Saints' Marshon Lattimore: Good to go for Week 3
Rotowire
Lattimore (hamstring) was a full participant in Friday's practice and does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Eagles, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Lattimore sustained a hamstring injury Week 1 against the Panthers, which forced him to sit out for the Saints' Week 2 win over the Cowboys. The 2017 first-round pick was limited in the first two sessions of the week, but he was able to practice without restrictions Friday. Barring any setbacks, Lattimore should return to his starting corner job opposite Paulson Adebo for Sunday's contest.

Saints' Marshon Lattimore: Back on field Wednesday
Rotowire
Lattimore (hamstring) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session.
Lattimore sustained the hamstring injury in Week 1 against the Panthers. He was unable to play Sunday versus the Cowboys after missing all three practices leading up to the game, so the fact that he was able to practice in a limited capacity Wednesday bodes well for his chances of playing against the Eagles in Week 3. Lattimore will have two more chances this week to increase his participation in practice.

Saints' Marshon Lattimore: Works with trainers Tuesday
Rotowire
Lattimore (hip) worked on the sidelines with trainers at Tuesday's practice, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Tuesday marked the first time Lattimore has been on the field since he sustained a hip injury during practice in late July. The 2017 first-round corner is a key piece in the secondary, so the Saints will continue to be cautious with his injury and have the four-time Pro Bowl corner ready for Week 1 against the Panthers on Sept. 8. Lattimore appeared in the first 10 regular-season games last year before suffering a season-ending high-ankle sprain in Week 10 against Minnesota. He finished 2023 with 48 tackles (39 solo), eight passes defended and one interception.

Saints' Marshon Lattimore: Picks up hip injury
Rotowire
Lattimore left practice Friday due to an issue with a hip flexor, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
The severity of the injury is unknown at this point, but New Orleans will want to exercise an abundance of caution with its four-time Pro Bowler regardless. Until Lattimore can come back, Paulson Adebo figures to work as the Saints' top corner during team drills.

Saints' Marshon Lattimore: Present for minicamp
Rotowire
Lattimore has reported to June minicamp, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Lattimore had been the common topic of trade rumors this offseason, but back in May coach Dennis Allen met with the four-time Pro Bowler and appeared to mend relations between he and the Saints. That sets up Lattimore to reprise his role as New Orleans' top cornerback, especially as he seems recovered from the ankle issue that caused him to miss the final seven games of the 2023 season.

Saints' Marshon Lattimore: Expected to remain in New Orleans
Rotowire
Saints head coach Dennis Allen said Wednesday that Lattimore (ankle) will be on the roster in 2024, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Lattimore missed the final seven games of the 2023 campaign due to an ankle injury, but he appears to have moved past the issue. The four-time Pro Bowl cornerback has been in trade rumors as of late, but after Allen's "positive conversation" with Lattimore, the cornerback is expected to remain in New Orleans in 2024. Lattimore will presumably be the Saints' top cornerback once again and will be joined in the secondary by Paulson Adebo and 2024 second-round pick Kool-Aid McKinstry (foot).

Saints' Marshon Lattimore: Hampered by injuries again
Rotowire
Lattimore (ankle) appeared in 10 games during the 2023 regular season, totaling 48 tackles and eight passes defended, including one interception.
Lattimore missed the final seven games of the year while on IR with an ankle issue, and he's now appeared in 17 games across the last two regular seasons. The four-time Pro Bowler still finished fifth on the Saints in passes defended, though he came just short of tallying double-digit passes defended for the sixth time in his seven-year career.

Saints' Marshon Lattimore: Likely not practicing Week 17
Rotowire
Head coach Dennis Allen was noncommittal Tuesday about Lattimore (ankle), and it seems as if he won't return to practice this week, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Lattimore has missed the Saints' last five games with this ankle issue and it still seems as if he won't be returning to the field just yet. New Orleans is unlikely to open the Pro Bowl cornerback's 21-day practice window this week, so he'll have to wait until Week 18 to potentially make his return. The Saints are expected to continue rolling with Alontae Taylor, Paulson Adebo and Isaac Yiadom while Lattimore recovers from his ankle injury.

Saints' Marshon Lattimore: Ruled out Sunday
Rotowire
Lattimore (ankle) has been ruled out of Sunday's contest against the Falcons.
Lattimore sustained a high-ankle sprain in Week 10 against the Vikings. Despite the Week 11 bye, he wasn't able to participate in any practice leading up to Sunday's contest and will not suit up. In Lattimore's absence, Alontae Taylor should step in as the starting cornerback alongside Paulson Adebo, while Isaac Yiadom and Cameron Dantzler are candidates to fill in at the slot corner position.

Saints' Marshon Lattimore: May not return this week
Rotowire
Lattimore is still recovering from a high-ankle sprain suffered in a Week 10 loss to the Vikings that is "going to take some time" for him to heal from, according to head coach Dennis Allen's statement Monday, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Although the Saints' Week 11 bye kept Lattimore from missing a game and provided him more time to recover, it sounds like the Ohio State product may be questionable at best for the team's Week 12 return to the field against Atlanta. His status for Sunday should become clearer as the week progresses and the Saints release their first injury report.

Rotowire
Lattimore (knee) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Lattimore tweaked his knee during a joint practice with the Chargers on Aug. 18. He was limited to individual drills for the rest of training camp, and it seems the Saints will continue to be cautious with the injury. Lattimore's status is unclear for Week 1 against the Titans on Sunday, Sept. 10.
