The New Orleans Saints ruled out tackle Taliese Fuaga with an ankle injury and listed five others as questionable Friday ahead of Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers.
Running back Alvin Kamara (ankle), tight end Jack Stoll (ankle), defensive lineman Jonah Williams (shoulder), tackle Barry Wesley (neck) and defensive lineman Bryan Bresee were listed as questionable after going through practice this week.
Of those five, only Wesley and Williams were full participants for all three practices. Kamara, Stoll and Bresee were limited, by contrast.
Bresee was added to the injury report Thursday after being a full participant a day earlier.
"We'll just have to let the week play itself out," coach Kellen Moore said regarding Bresee. "He's been able to practice in a limited fashion the last two days, and so (he's) trending well there. But you've got to let these things take its course through the entire week."
The Saints' decision to rule out Fuaga was not a surprise. Moore said earlier in the week that he was unlikely to play as he suffered a high-ankle sprain in last week's loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Fuaga did not practice at all throughout the week and is expected to be replaced by Asim Richards.
The Saints are now missing three of the five offensive linemen they envisioned as starters entering the season. In addition to Fuaga's injury, the team traded guard Trevor Penning to the Los Angeles Chargers on Tuesday and Erik McCoy suffered a season-ending biceps injury last month.
Carolina's injury report, meanwhile, had a notable addition Friday.
The Panthers surprisingly listed first-round wide receiver Tet McMillian as questionable after he "popped up" with a hamstring injury, coach Dave Canales told reporters.
McMillian leads the Panthers with 41 catches and 558 receiving yards.
