Saints' Alvin Kamara: Active Sunday
Kamara (back) is listed as active Sunday against the Vikings.
Kamara opened Week 5 prep as a non-participant at Wednesday's walkthrough due to a back injury, but he was able to log back-to-back limited practices to end the week and enter the weekend listed as questionable. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network then reported Sunday morning that Kamara was expected to play, which now has been confirmed. Kamara thus should serve as the Saints' lead runner this weekend, which so far has amounted to 36 touches for 121 yards from scrimmage and two rushing TDs in three appearances.

Saints' Alvin Kamara: Slated to to suit up Sunday
Kamara (back) is expected to play in Sunday's contest against the Vikings, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Kamara sat out Week 1 due to a sprained MCL and then proceeded to suit up the last three games before a back issue threatened his availability for Week 5. He followed up a DNP at Wednesday's walkthrough with limited sessions Thursday and Friday before heading into the weekend listed as questionable. Kamara's status will be clarified about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, and if he's active as anticipated, he'll continue to take on a modest workload out of the Saints backfield, which so far has equated to 36 touches for 121 yards from scrimmage and two rushing TDs this season.

Saints' Lorenzo Styles: Removed from IR, questionable for Week 5
Styles (calf) was activated from the Saints' injured reserve Saturday.
Even though Styles is still listed as questionable, his removal from injured reserve indicates that the rookie fifth-rounder will make his NFL debut against the Vikings on Sunday. Styles was placed on injured reserve Sept. 1 due to a calf injury that he sustained in a preseason game against the Rams in late August.

Saints' Jaylan Ford: Activated from IR
The Saints activated Ford (ankle) from injured reserve Saturday.
Ford is still listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, but his removal on IR is a positive sign that he'll be available to play. He opened the regular season on injured reserve due to an ankle injury that he sustained during training camp.

Saints' Nathan Shepherd: Under the weather, iffy for Week 5
Shepherd (illness) is now questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Shepherd is now in jeopardy of missing Sunday's game due to an illness. Davon Godchaux, Khristian Boyd, Tyree Wilson and Colby Wooden would all be in line for more defensive snaps if Shepherd is not cleared to play against Minnesota.

Saints' Cedric Tillman: Elevated for first time in 2026
The Saints elevated Tillman from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
It is Tillman's first elevation from the practice squad this season, and the fourth-year pro could operate as the Saints' WR4 against the Vikings on Sunday if rookie sixth-rounder Barion Brown (thigh) is unable to play. Tillman caught 21 passes (on 39 targets) for 270 yards and two touchdowns across 13 regular-season games with the Browns in 2025, but he was cut by Cleveland at the end of training camp in late August.

Saints' Davon Godchaux: Cleared to play vs. Minnesota
Godchaux (groin) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Godchaux tweaked his groin during the Saints' loss to the Falcons in Week 4. He ended Week 5 prep with a full practice Friday, which was enough for the veteran defensive lineman to fade an injury tag for Sunday's home game. Godchaux has 12 tackles (four solo) through the first four games of the regular season.

Saints' Noah Fant: Cleared to play vs. Minnesota
Fant (abdomen) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Fant opened the week with back-to-back limited practices before logging a full session Friday, which was enough for him to shed an injury tag and return from a one-game absence due to an abdominal injury. He has an 8-66-3 receiving line (on 12 targets) through three regular-season games while operating as the Saints' TE2 behind Juwan Johnson.

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.
