Terron Armstead, Marques Colston listed as DNP on projected injury report

METAIRIE, La. -- Receiver Marques Colston and offensive linemen Terron Armstead and Tim Lelito would not have practiced Monday if the New Orleans Saints had practiced, according to the team’s projected injury report.

Teams playing Thursday night games are required to turn in projected injury reports even if they don't practice on Mondays, estimating the health of their players. The Saints (1-4) host the Atlanta Falcons (5-0) on Thursday inside the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

The Saints had six players listed as Did Not Practice: Colston, who suffered a shoulder injury during this past Sunday's loss at Philadephia, Armstead (knee), Lelito (shoulder), punter Thomas Morstead (quadricep), cornerback Damian Swann (concussion) and defensive end Bobby Richardson (hip).

Guard Jahri Evans (knee), safety Jairus Byrd (knee) and defensive tackle John Jenkins (elbow) were listed as limited.

Cornerback Keenan Lewis (hip) was listed as fully participating.

The Saints will hold an actual practice on Tuesday, which is typically an off-day for players, during this abbreviated workweek.
