11 Deonte Harris WR

Harris (hamstring) is active for Thursday night's game against the Falcons, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Harris returns after a two-game absence. It is not certain if he will slide immediately back into his regular return role after turning in only limited practices during the week.

Harris (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's contest against the Falcons, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Harris logged a trio of limited practices this week. If he were forced to miss any time, Taysom Hill and Alvin Kamara would take over fielding kick and punt returns, respectively.

Harris was limited in Tuesday's practice, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Harris has been credited with two straight limited practices this week in what is a good sign for his availability for Thursday. On the other hand, he has already missed two games with the issue and is looking at a third if he can't ramp up his participation level Wednesday.

Harris (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated injury report, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Harris hasn't practiced over the last two weeks and missed those respective games, so the fact he was expected to practice Monday indicates at least some progress. The 21-year-old likely would go back to returning kicks if he can play Thursday, but there should be a better idea of his status after the next two days of practice.

Harris (hamstring) has been declared out for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Harris was unable to practice at all during the week and will be forced to sit out a second consecutive game. Taysom Hill and Ted Ginn should fill in returning kicks.

Harris (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

Harris was unable to practice this week and will miss his first game of the season. The 21-year-old has three grabs for 10 yards on the season but typically makes his biggest impact as a kick and punt returner.

Harris (hamstring) did not participate in Thursday's practice.

Two straight missed practices due to a leg injury is never a good sign for a returner. Harris will need to put in at least limited work Friday in order to be considered a better bet to play.

Harris (hamstring) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Harris is a new name on the injury report, as he's suited up all nine games so far. The undrafted rookie rarely takes the field on offense, but he's made quite an impact as a returner with 23.8 yards per kick return and 9.7 yards per punt return, ranking seventh and fifth in the league, respectively. Taysom Hill, Alvin Kamara and Ted Ginn could fill those duties if Harris is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

Harris lost seven yards on his lone reception during Sunday's 27-9 loss to the Rams. He added three punt returns for 34 yards.

Harris' first career reception was disappointing, and the returner's hopes to contribute more frequently on offense don't look too promising. Drew Brees (thumb) is out, and the Saints have a tough test against the Seahawks defense.
