As expected, the Saints will wait until late Saturday to decide whether to activate middle linebacker Jonathan Vilma from the reserve/physically-unable-to-perform list for Sunday’s game with the Tampa Bay Bucs.
Vilma practiced for the third straight day Friday and interim coach Aaron Kromer said the nine-year veteran has looked good.
When asked if Vilma has a legitimate chance of playing Sunday, Kromer said, “He looked good. He looked physically good.”
INJURY REPORT: Tight end Jimmy Graham, who was limited in practice Thursday and Friday because of a sprained right ankle, is questionable for Sunday.
Here is the final injury report turned in to the league office by Kromer and Bucs coach Greg Schiano on Friday:
SAINTS
Out – WLB David Hawthorne (hamstring).
Questionable – TE Jimmy Graham (ankle).
Probable – G Jahri Evans (toe), CB Jabari Greer (groin), SLB Scott Shanle (illness), WR Lance Moore (hamstring), WLB Jonathan Casillas (neck), DE Turk McBride (ankle), RB Travaris Cadet (shoulder).
BUCS

The post Saints to decide Saturday on whether to activate Vilma appeared first on Black and Gold.
