The Atlanta Falcons will head into a key NFC South game against the New Orleans Saints without two key starters who had been listed as questionable — wide receiver Michael Jenkins and safety Erik Coleman.

Saints TE Jeremy Shockey (knee), FS Darren Sharper (knee) and LB Jonathan Vilma (knee) seemingly worked in every practice drill Wednesday in Coral Gables, Fla., and looked good despite their injuries, according to Super Bowl pool reporter John Czarnecki.

The Saints received good news on the injury front Friday, when CB Malcolm Jenkins (hamstring), FS Darren Sharper (knee) and LB Jonathan Vilma (knee) all returned to practice, albeit in limited fashion.

The Saints and Buccaneers should have some starters back for their NFC South showdown on Sunday.

New Orleans has some concerns in its secondary, specifically on the outside, heading into the big Monday night showdown against the Patritos.

Here’s a brief look at the notable injuries we’ve been tracking around the NFL throughout Week 11, including Ben Roethlisberger, Matthew Stafford and Marshawn Lynch.

The New Orleans Saints are hopeful the hamstring injury suffered by CB Randall Gay in Sunday’s 38-7 win over the Bucs is not severe.

Saints FS Darren Sharper told NFL Network’s Lindsay Soto that he will not play Sunday, and the team later placed him on its inactive list for the game against the Rams.
