Saints' Marshon Lattimore: Agrees to contract restructure
Rotowire
Lattimore agreed to restructure his contract with the Saints on Monday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Lattimore and DE Cameron Jordan continue the Saints' annual tradition of restructuring top players' contracts to free up cap space for the season ahead. Lattimore missed 10 games last year after three consecutive Pro Bowl appearances, but he's still the No. 1 cornerback in New Orleans and has a long-term contact through 2026. He'll turn 27 in May.

Saints' Marshon Lattimore: Has season marred by injury
Rotowire
Lattimore recorded 29 tackles (20 solo) and four interceptions, including one sack, while playing seven games in the 2022 season.
Lattimore sat out the heart of the season after he sustained an injury to his ribs and kidney during the Week 5 win over Seattle. While he did return and play every defensive snap for the final two games of the season, the four-time Pro Bowler registered the least productive season of his career while also playing fewer than 13 regular-season games for the first time. Lattimore posted double-digit passes defended in each of his first five seasons, and he was still the team's top cornerback when healthy. The 26-year-old has four remaining seasons on his five-year, $97.6 million contract with the Saints.

Saints' Marshon Lattimore: Ready to go Sunday
Rotowire
Lattimore (abdomen) is active for Sunday's game against the Eagles, per the team's official site.
After stringing together three limited sessions earlier this week due to a nagging abdominal issue, Lattimore is now slated to end his 10-game absence streak and suit up versus Philadelphia on New Year's Day. With Jalen Hurts (shoulder) unavailable for a second consecutive matchup, the 26-year-old cornerback will look to snag his first interception of the year from backup quarterback Gardner Minshew.

Rotowire
Lattimore (abdomen) is expected to suit up Sunday versus the Eagles, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Lattimore hasn't played since Week 5 due to an abdomen injury, but it looks like New Orleans expects the star cornerback to be available in Philadelphia.

Rotowire
Lattimore (abdomen) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Falcons, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Lattimore will miss yet another contest due to an abdomen injury. The star cornerback hasn't played since Week 5, but he's been practicing in a limited fashion since Week 13, suggesting he's getting closer to a return. Alontae Taylor and Paulson Adebo will once again draw starts at the outside cornerback spots during Sunday's divisional matchup against Atlanta.

Saints' Marshon Lattimore: Logs limited practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Lattimore (abdomen) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Lattimore, who's missed eight straight games due to an abdomen injury, was a limited participant during each practice ahead of Week 13 and remained sidelined for the loss to Tampa Bay, so the star cornerback doesn't appear to have made much progress during the team's Week 14 bye. He'll likely have to log at least one full session before returning to game action and has two more opportunities to do so before the Saints need to make a decision on his status for Sunday's matchup against the Falcons.

Saints' Marshon Lattimore: Questionable for Monday
Rotowire
Lattimore (abdomen) is listed as questionable for Monday's game at Tampa Bay, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
He's missed New Orleans' last seven games dealing with a lacerated kidney, and despite another limited practice session, it's still up in the air whether Lattimore will be ready to go in Week 13 at the Buccaneers. If he's again sidelined Monday, rookie second-rounder Alontae Taylor would likely continue to fill in on the boundaries.

Saints' Marshon Lattimore: Limited in practice again
Rotowire
Lattimore (abdomen) was listed as a limited participant on the Saints' injury report Thursday.
Lattimore has not played since suffering an abdomen injury against the Seahawks in Week 5, but he returned to practice in a limited fashion Week 12. While the Pro Bowl cornerback was still ultimately ruled inactive for Sunday's loss to San Francisco, he should have a good chance to suit up against the Buccaneers on Monday Night Football. Lattimore will have two more practices to increase his activity before this contest, or else he could end up remaining sidelined until after the Saints' Week 14 bye.

Saints' Marshon Lattimore: Remains out
Rotowire
Lattimore (abdomen) is inactive Sunday against the 49ers.
Lattimore returned to practice this week, but the star cornerback will sit out another game as he continues to recover from a lacerated kidney. Assuming he has no setbacks in his recovery, it appears Lattimore will have a good chance to return in Week 13's divisional contest with the Buccaneers.

Saints' Marshon Lattimore: Back at practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Lattimore (abdomen) participated in the Saints' practice Wednesday in a limited capacity.
Lattimore hasn't played since Week 5, so his ability to practice Wednesday -- albeit in limited fashion -- suggests that he is at least improving. Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the veteran cornerback has been dealing with a lacerated kidney, among other issues. If Davenport can return Sunday, it would be a boost to New Orleans secondary' against a 49ers passing attack that posted four touchdowns Monday against Arizona.

Saints' Marshon Lattimore: Doesn't practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Lattimore (abdomen) was listed as a non-participant on the Saints' injury report Wednesday, reports Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune.
Lattimore has missed the Saints' last five games with an abdomen issue, leaving him sidelined for the Saints' first practice of Week 11. Now, the 26-year-old will have two more practices to increase his activity, or else he'll likely be ruled out for the sixth straight week. Paulson Adebo, Alontae Taylor and Chris Harris have seen extensive usage as New Orleans' only healthy cornerbacks with Lattimore sidelined, and they'll likely continue to fill out the team's secondary if the four-time Pro Bowler remains out Sunday against the Rams.

Lattimore was considered unlikely to play in Week 10, and he'll officially be unavailable after missing practice for a third consecutive day Friday.

Saints' Marshon Lattimore: Exits with injury
Rotowire
Lattimore (abdomen) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Seahawks, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Lattimore did not record a tackle before exiting with an apparent abdomen injury at some point during Sunday's game, leaving his return for the fourth quarter up in the air. With the Pro Bowler sidelined for the time being, expect Bradley Roby and Chris Harris to take on more prominent roles within the Saints' secondary.

Saints' Marshon Lattimore: Impressive in coverage
Rotowire
Lattimore racked up one solo tackle and six pass breakups during Sunday's win over Washington.
Lattimore made up for a lack of production as a run stopper by his involvement in coverage, and he only needs two more pass breakups to tie his 2020 total. The cornerback isn't necessarily trustworthy as an every-week IDP asset, but he does play an every-down defensive role and possess a fairly high upside. Based on his performance against the Football Team, Lattimore earned NFC Defensive Player of the Week honors.

Saints' Marshon Lattimore: Busy day in win
Rotowire
Lattimore recorded 10 tackles (eight solo) and an interception during Sunday's 28-13 win over the Patriots.
Lattimore missed Week 2 with the thumb injury but returned to action Sunday, and he grabbed his first pick of the year, led the team in tackles and played all 72 defensive snaps. The 25-year-old shouldn't be expected to post double-digit tackle totals most weeks and has limited IDP value, though his overall impact on the New Orleans defense cannot be understated.

Rotowire
Lattimore (hand) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Carolina, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

After sitting out Wednesday's practice, however, he made a surprise appearance on the field Thursday, when he logged a limited showing.

Saints' Marshon Lattimore: Already practicing again
Rotowire
Lattimore (thumb) logged a limited practice Thursday, Amie Just of NOLA.com reports.
Lattimore didn't practice Wednesday but was able to return to the practice field Thursday, just two days after getting surgery to address a chipped bone in his thumb. He was deemed week-to-week after the surgery, so Lattimore's status for Sunday's game against the Panthers remains up in the air, though his return to practice Thursday is certainly a step in the right direction.
