Saints' Dan Arnold: Battling chest injury

Arnold is dealing with a chest injury and was a limited participant at Monday's practice.

Arnold is coming off a breakout performance in the Saints' Week 13 win over the Falcons, during which he recorded four receptions for 45 yards and a touchdown. He apparently didn't escape that game unscathed, but his presence on the field in any capacity Monday suggests he still has a good shot of playing Thursday night against the Cowboys in Week 13. Arnold will likely need to practice fully Tuesday or Wednesday to avoid an injury designation ahead of the contest.
