In the lead-up to a pivotal Week 6 showdown, both the New Orleans Saints and Houston Texans released their respective injury reports on Friday. Notably, the Saints will be without five key contributors for Sunday’s matchup.
New Orleans Saints
In what appears to be a concerning trend for the Saints, five players have been declared out. Their offense, in particular, will miss the services of tight end Juwan Johnson, who has been sidelined with a calf injury. Safety Lonnie Johnson Jr. (hamstring), fullback Adam Prentice (knee), safety J.T. Gray (hamstring), and tackle Landon Young (hip) also did not participate in practice and will not suit up on Sunday.

Houston Texans
For the Texans, tackles Laremy Tunsil (knee) and Robert Woods (ribs) have been upgraded to full participation, providing a boost to Houston’s offensive line. However, wide receiver Nathaniel “Tank” Dell (concussion) remains questionable, potentially leaving the team short-handed at the wideout position.
