White was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a foot injury.
White has yet to reach the end zone through five games this season, but he's at least been more efficient on the ground the last two contests, averaging 6.0 yards on his 20 carries. Rookie fourth-round RB Bucky Irving has been nearly as crisp all season, with 5.6 YPC and a TD on his 44 rushes. Now that White has made an appearance on the Buccaneers' first Week 6 practice report, his status will be watched as the week continues to get a sense of his odds to suit up Sunday at New Orleans.
Hill (ribs) didn't participate in Wednesday's walkthrough.
On the heels of Monday's loss at Kansas City, the Saints didn't hold a full session to begin Week 6 prep, but Hill still was listed as a DNP for a fourth consecutive injury report due to the rib fractures that he sustained Week 4 in Atlanta. He'll have two more opportunities this week to mix into drills before New Orleans potentially makes a ruling on his status for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
Meyers (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday.
With Davante Adams (hamstring) not expected to play Sunday against the Steelers, Meyers' status is worth monitoring closely in the coming days. Over the last two games (both of which Adams has missed), Meyers has combined for 11 catches for 121 yards on 19 targets.
White (groin) didn't practice Wednesday.
White, who missed this past Sunday's game against the Broncos, now has two more chances to practice in advance of this weekend's game against the Steelers. If the running back is forced to miss his second straight contest, Alexander Mattisonand Ameer Abdullah would continue to pace the Raiders' backfield in Week 6.
Herbert (ankle) was limited at practice Wednesday.
Herbert had some time to rest his troublesome ankle during the Chargers' bye week, but the QB's listed limitations Wednesday suggest that he continues to manage the issue ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos. That said, there's been nothing to suggest that Herbert is in any danger of missing the contest, though unless he practices fully by Friday, he figures to carry a Week 6 injury designation.
Coach Dennis Allen called Carr "week-to-week" Wednesday due to the oblique injury that he suffered Monday at Kansas City, but a stint on injured reserve likely isn't a possibility for the quarterback, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
At the same time, Allen announced rookie fifth-round pick Spencer Rattler as the Saints' Week 6 starting QB over second-year pro Jake Haener. Officially, Carr didn't practice Wednesday, per Hendrix, and Allen also relayed to Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune that Carr will retain the No. 1 gig once he's healthy enough to play again. Ultimately, New Orleans likely will make a decision on Carr's status for Sunday's contest against the Buccaneers by week's end.
Shaheed was a non-participant at Wednesday's walkthrough due to a hip injury, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Aside from getting blanked on five targets Week 3 against the Eagles, Shaheed has surpassed 73 yards from scrimmage on the other four occasions and scored three receiving touchdowns overall. With a health concern now impacting his practice reps, his status will be one to monitor as the week goes on to get a sense of his availability for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
Chubb (knee) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Chubb was a limited participant all last week after the Browns opened his 21-day practice window Oct. 2. Coach Kevin Stefanski isn't giving hints about whether the running back might actually be activated this week, merely saying "anything is possible" when asked Wednesday about Chubb's availability for the game at Philadelphia this Sunday, per Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Kamara didn't participate in Wednesday's walkthrough due to hip and hand injuries, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Kamara was listed with hip and rib injuries the last two weeks but still was able to suit up Weeks 4 and 5. While he handled 26 touches on the first occasion at Atlanta, he fell back to 17 touches Monday in Kansas City. Considering the Saints didn't hold a full practice to begin Week 6 prep, Kamara will have two more chances to prove his health before the team potentially tags him with a designation for Sunday's contest against the Buccaneers.
