Erik McCoy - Practice window opens Thursday McCoy (groin) was designated to return from injured reserve Thursday.
Impact McCoy suffered a groin injury in Week 3 against the Eagles, and he was placed on injured reserve after undergoing surgery. His 21-day practice opened Thursday, and he was listed as a limited practice participant in the injury report. McCoy figures to need more time to ramp up before returning to games, but it's unclear who will the the starting center for the Saints against the Falcons on Sunday. Lucas Patrick has missed both practices this week due to a calf injury, though Shane Lemieux (knee) is closer to returning from injured reserve than McCoy. If McCoy, Patrick nor Lemieux is able to play Sunday, Connor McGovern would figure to be the starting center.

Jamaal Williams - Limited again Thursday Williams (groin) remained limited in Thursday's practice, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Impact With Kendre Miller (hamstring) back on injured reserve, Williams has resumed RB2 duties behind Alvin Kamara, though Taysom Hill is the likelier of he and Williams to see more carries. After registering 19 carries across Weeks 1 and 2 this season, Williams has failed to top three carries in a single game since.

Cedrick Wilson Jr. - Still not practicing Wilson (shoulder) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Impact Wilson is one of two Saints wide receivers to be held out of drills so far this week, but Chris Olave seems far more likely to miss time due to the concussion that he sustained this past Sunday in Carolina. Nevertheless, Wilson likely will need to practice in some capacity Friday in order to have a chance to suit up Sunday against the Falcons.

Kool-Aid McKinstry - Opens week as DNP McKinstry (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday.
Impact McKinstry was sidelined for the Saints' Week 9 loss to the Panthers after likely worsening his hamstring injury in practice, and Wednesday's DNP suggests he could be in jeopardy of missing more time. The 2024 second-round pick likely needs to upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday in order to play in Week 10, when the Saints host the Falcons.

Will Harris - Designated to return Harris (hamstring) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Impact Harris sustained a hamstring injury in the Saints' Week 5 loss to the Chiefs that has sidelined him since. However, the 28-year-old's practice window opened Wednesday, suggesting that he's nearing a return to the field. Harris now has a chance to suit up for Sunday's matchup against the Falcons, but he must be activated to the Saints' active roster in order play.

Jamaal Williams - Limited in practice Wednesday Williams (groin) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Impact Williams was ruled out for this past Sunday's loss to the Panthers after a week of limited practices, so Wednesday's update doesn't present much clarity on his potential availability Sunday against the Falcons. If Williams suits up, he'll likely work in a complementary role behind Alvin Kamara in a Saints offense that could go more run-heavy due to numerous injuries to wide receivers.

Cedrick Wilson Jr. - DNP due to shoulder injury Wilson (shoulder) didn't practice Wednesday.
Impact Wilson missed some time during this past Sunday's loss at Carolina due to a shoulder injury but ultimately was able to finish out the contest on his way to two catches (on three targets) for 34 yards. With a DNP under his belt to begin Week 10 prep, his status will be on to monitor to see if he may be able to help fill in for Chris Olave, who emerged from Week 9 with a concussion following a big hit and may need a stint on injured reserve.

Chris Olave - Meeting with specialists Saints coach Darren Rizzi said Wednesday that Olave (concussion) is meeting with specialists and no decision has been made on an injured reserve stint, Matthew Paras of The New Orl...
Impact Rizzi subtly acknowledged the possibility of an extended absence, after Olave suffered his second concussion of the season (and fourth of his NFL career) during Sunday's 23-22 loss to the Panthers. Olave didn't practice Wednesday and is highly unlikely to play this Sunday against the Falcons.

Chris Olave - No practice Wednesday Olave (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.
Impact Olave was on the receiving end of a big hit this past Sunday at Carolina that required a cart to get off the field and a subsequent visit to a hospital. He was diagnosed with a concussion, leaving him subject to the protocol for head injuries before he'll be able to return to action. In the short term, Olave merely getting back on the practice field will be a positive first step in his recovery.
