Saints’ Andrus Peat, Ty Montgomery ruled out for game vs. Broncos, Deonte Harris questionable

New Orleans Saints starting left guard Andrus Peat has been ruled out of Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos due to the concussion he sustained last week against the Atlanta Falcons. 

This will be the second game Peat has missed this season after missing the Week 4 game against the Detroit Lions due to an ankle injury. 

Veteran guard Nick Easton will likely play in Peat’s place. Easton has been a reliable backup guard for the Saints the past two seasons, starting in five games this year while rookie guard Cesar Ruiz was hurt and then re-acclimated. 

Backup hybrid running back Ty Montgomery was also declared out due to a hamstring injury that he sustained sometime this week. Montgomery missed six games with a hamstring injury earlier this season, five of which came while he was on the injured reserve. It’s not known if this injury is a re-aggravation of the old one or a new injury. 

Despite not practicing all week, All-Pro returner Deonte Harris is questionable to play Sunday with his neck injury. He left last week’s game against the Falcons with a stinger. If Harris can’t go against the Broncos, look for receiver Marquez Callaway to step in like he did when Harris missed the Week 5 game against the Los Angeles Chargers. 

All the other players who appeared on the injury report this week were not given designations, signaling that those five are ready to go. 

Starting cornerback Marshon Lattimore (abdomen) practiced fully all week after he missed last week’s game, as did tight end Josh Hill (concussion) and special teams ace/running back Dwayne Washington (back). 

Running back Alvin Kamara (foot) was limited all week, but he’s played through that injury for the past several weeks. Receiver Michael Thomas also was limited all week with an ankle injury after not being on the injury report at all last week, but he has no game designation, so he’s good to play

Quarterback Drew Brees (ribs/right shoulder) does not appear on the injury report because he is on the injured reserve.
