LB Hau'oli Kikaha who has not practiced this week with an ankle injury is evidently headed to IR and making room for Kasim Edebali who the Saints have claimed off waivers.

Not practicing for the matchup against the Buccaneers were DE Trey Hendrickson, T Terron Armstead, the afore mentioned LB Hau’oli Kikaha, and TE Michael Hoomamawanui. Hooman as we refer to him was reported to be limited yesterday with his concussion. Now once again not practicing it appears that he has had a set back. Concussions can be tricky, and it seems like he has been under the protocol for a little longer than normal.
Limited were WR Brandon Coleman, TE Garrett Griffin, WR Michael Thomas, TE Josh Hill, G Senio Kelemente, and T Ryan Ramczyk. If you remember, Michael Thomas suffered a hamstring injury late before the game with the Falcons and while catching the ball wasn’t a problem for our # 1 receiver, it looking like he was hampered speed wise, and went down quickly rather that suffer hits in that game.
The complete injury report is below including those for Tampa.
