Kaden Elliss will miss Monday night’s New Orleans Saints game against the Atlanta Falcons at Caesars Superdome, the team confirmed after their final practice ahead of Week 4. Elliss, a linebacker, has been ruled out, along with defensive ends Carl Granderson and Anfernee Jennings.
The Saints wrapped up their third and final practice on Sunday, October 4th, preparing for the primetime matchup scheduled for October 5th. Alongside Elliss, tight end Noah Fant and linebacker Pete Werner were listed as questionable. The Falcons’ injury status remains unconfirmed.
Elliss’ absence will affect the Saints’ linebacker depth and defensive schemes. He has been a regular presence on defense, and his loss comes as the Saints look to strengthen their performance at home against their NFC South rivals. Defensive ends Granderson and Jennings also missing will further challenge the Saints’ defensive front.
The Saints have yet to release a detailed injury report explaining the nature or expected recovery time for those sidelined. Coach and team officials have not provided comments on how they plan to adjust their lineup or tactics without Elliss.
The Falcons’ injury updates were not available at the time of the Saints’ practice report. The game will take place under the dome in New Orleans, promising a controlled environment for the Monday night contest. The Saints’ injury situation will be an important factor as they seek to secure a win on their home turf.
