Saints list several key defenders as DNP in injury report vs. Falcons

Ahead of the Week 4 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, the New Orleans Saints have released their first injury report, revealing that key defensive players Kaden Elliss, Pete Werner, and Carl Granderson did not participate in practice. The report comes as both starting linebackers missed practice due to injuries, with Elliss dealing with a calf injury and Werner suffering from a shoulder issue. The Saints are also without running back Travis Etienne Jr., who will be sidelined for at least four weeks due to a hamstring injury. Conversely, the Falcons have only reported limited participation from two players, Divine Diablo and Samson Ebukam, both hampered by hamstring issues. The Saints and Falcons will face off at the Caesars Superdome on Sunday night.
