Saints' Jeremiah Wright: Won't play Sunday
Wright (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Vikings, Emily Leiker of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Wright was limited in Thursday's practice after being placed in the league's concussion protocol. The offensive lineman was downgraded to a DNP on Friday and has been ruled out of Sunday's contest as he recovers from the head injury.

Saints' Anfernee Jennings: Ruled out for Sunday
Jennings (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Vikings, Emily Leiker of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Jennings has been unable to practice since sustaining a knee injury in the Saints' Week 3 loss to the Raiders. The linebacker will now miss consecutive games due to the injury, leaving Myles Cole as the primary rotational pass rusher behind starters Chase Young and Carl Granderson.

Saints' Carl Granderson: Cleared to play in Week 5
Granderson (ankle) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Vikings, Emily Leiker of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Granderson finished Week 5 prep with an LP-LP-FP practice log, which was enough for him to fade an injury designation and return from a one-game absence due to an ankle injury. He'll start opposite Chase Young at the edge rusher position, with Myles Cole and Chris Rumph providing depth.

Saints' Julian Blackmon: Tagged as questionable vs. Minnesota
Blackmon (shoulder) is listed as questionable against the Vikings on Sunday, Emily Leiker of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Blackmon was limited in practice all week due to a shoulder injury, which he likely picked up during the Saints' loss to the Falcons this past Monday. His status for Sunday's game may not known until the Saints announce their list of inactive players about 90 minutes before the 1:00pm ET kickoff. Jonas Sanker would be the top candidate to start alongside Justin Reid at safety if Blackmon is not cleared to play.

Saints' Kaden Elliss: Won't play against Minnesota
Elliss (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Vikings on Sunday, Emily Leiker of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Elliss was unable to practice all week, and his calf injury will cause him to miss a second consecutive game as a result. Second-year pro Danny Stutsman will continue to start next to Pete Werner at inside linebacker due to the absence of Elliss, whose next chance to play is Week 6 against the Giants on Sunday, Oct. 18.

Saints' Barion Brown: Questionable for Week 5
Brown (thigh) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Emily Leiker of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Brown was limited by a thigh injury in each of the first two practices of Week 5 prep. Although he's tagged as questionable, his ability to practice in full Friday gives Brown a solid chance at being cleared to play against Minnesota. If the rookie sixth-rounder is ruled out, then Kendre Miller and Jayden Price would likely operate as the Saints' top return options on kickoffs and punts.

Saints' Tyler Shough: Good to go for Week 5
Shough (left hand) practiced fully Friday and doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Emily Leiker of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Shough opened the week with a limited walkthrough Wednesday due to a left hand injury, but he didn't endure any restrictions Thursday and Friday and thus is good to go for Week 5. He currently ranks third in the NFL in passing yards per game with 300.8, which he's supplemented with a 9:3 TD:INT through four contests.

Saints' Chris Olave: Good to go Sunday
Olave (foot) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
After being limited Thursday due to a foot issue, Olave's full participation Friday clears up his status for Week 5. The NFL's leader in targets (48) has a tough test against Minnesota's aggressive defense, but the Saints can't run the ball and have been forced to dial up the pass at a high clip through four games. Olave is a lock-and-load WR1 every week.

Saints' Alvin Kamara: Questionable for Week 5
Kamara (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Kamara exited last Monday night's game briefly with a knee injury, and he then popped up on this week's injury report with a back issue, getting in limited practices. The veteran doesn't need to practice much in order to play, but if he's not cleared for Sunday, Kendre Miller and CJ Donaldson would be next in line for backfield snaps for New Orleans, as Travis Etienne (hamstring) remains on injured reserve for at least three more weeks.

Saints' Chris Olave: Practicing again Friday
Olave (rest/foot) appeared to be moving well during the part of Friday's practice open to the media, Jeff Nowak of WWL New Orleans reports.
After being rested for Wednesday's walkthrough, Olave was limited at Thursday's session due to a foot injury. His status for Sunday's game against the Vikings may receive some clarity once the Saints post their final Week 5 practice report Friday.
