Saints Wednesday Injury Report: 2020 Week 1 vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

I am far less concerned over Davenport's elbow than Ruiz' ankle. A DE doesn't need the practice reps that a C/G would require. An elbow shouldn't affect Davenport's speed. I could see them resting it for now. Ruiz, however could be affected by an ankle depending upon the severity and he needs the reps.

The Bucs have greater concern with Evans' hammy. Even if they rest it up until gametime there is no telling what could happen once he is full go. That's a big one to watch.

The Bucs have greater concern with Evans' hammy (or, his avoiding Marshon Lattimore). Even if they rest it up until gametime there is no telling what could happen once he is full go (to get shut-down). That's a big one to watch.
