Saints vs. Packers inactives: Marshon Lattimore is active

After being downgraded to questionable, Saints star cornerback Marshon Lattimore is active for Sunday’s game.

The New Orleans Saints and Green Bay Packers have announced their inactive lists for Sunday afternoon’s matchup. There are key names missing from the lists that spell good news for each team.

New Orleans Saints

No Marshon Lattimore on this list means that he’ll be active and ready to go after being a gametime decision. Lattimore popped up as limited on the Thursday injury report with knee injury. He had no game designation originally on Friday only to be downgraded to questionable the next day.

The Saints are already without Ken Crawley who was moved to injured reserve and new presumed CB2 Bradley Roby who is suspended for Week 1. Expect Lattimore to be paired with rookie Paulson Adebo today.

Unsurprisingly, the Saints will not carry four quarterbacks nor seven linebackers into today’s matchup. The primary backup QB behind Jameis Winston’s first start with the Saints will be veteran Trevor Siemian.

Rookie Payton Turner will not see action today. Not entirely surprising considering he’d been missing time since mid-August and only returned to practice this week.

Green Bay Packers

The biggest takeaway fro the Packers is who is not listed as well. Pass rusher Za’Darius Smith was limited in practice all week, but will play against the Saints.
