Saints may wait to get key Pro Bowler back until after rivalry game against Falcons in Week 10

The New Orleans Saints released their Friday injury report, and there are some key takeaways. 

Erik McCoy listed as doubtful

The star center has a chance to play in Week 10. He has been on injured reserve for over a month. They have missed him dearly on the offensive line. 

The Saints will surely be careful with him, but there is a better chance that he returns in Week 11. 

Olave, Kool-Aid out

Chris Olave will miss the game due to his concussion. They are being extra careful with him after his second concussion of the season, according to interim HC Darren Rizzi. 

Rookie CB Kool-Aid McKinstry will sit his second game in a row due to a hamstring injury. Without Marshon Lattimore, depth in the secondary must step up.

Will Harris set to return

The veteran safety is questionable, but Rizzi expects him to be able to suit up for New Orleans. He was playing great in the first month of the season opposite of Tyrann Mathieu. 

Thin WR depth

Mason Tipton and Marquez Valdes-Scantling will probably start at wideout. Behind them, the depth is unknown outside of Jermaine Jackson. Expect New Orleans to elevate at least one receiver on Saturday.
