Mathieu (illness) was listed as a full practice participant Thursday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports. Mathieu didn't practice Wednesday while battling an illness, but it appears he's over the issue as he was able to practice without limitations Thursday. Barring any setbacks, the 2013 third-round pick should be good to go for Sunday's game against the Panthers. Mathieu's two interceptions through eight regular-season outings is second most on the Saints behind Paulson Adebo (leg).

Mathieu (illness) was listed as a full practice participant Thursday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports. Mathieu didn't practice Wednesday while battling an illness, but it appears he's over the issue as he was able to practice without limitations Thursday. Barring any setbacks, the 2013 third-round pick should be good to go for Sunday's game against the Panthers. Mathieu's two interceptions through eight regular-season outings is second most on the Saints behind Paulson Adebo (leg).
Mathieu (illness) did not practice Wednesday. Mathieu is working through an illness, which will impact his practice participation over the next two days. Even if he's limited Thursday and Friday, he should be able to suit up for Sunday's game against Carolina, though he could enter the game with an injury designation. Through the first eight games of the regular season, Mathieu has logged 33 tackles (26 solo), three passes defended, two interceptions, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.
Mathieu (forearm) was listed as a full participant on Monday's practice estimation. Mathieu sustained a forearm injury in the Saints' Week 6 loss to the Buccaneers, but Monday's full practice estimation suggests he's already moved past the issue. Expect the 12th-year pro to serve as the Saints' top free safety in Thursday night's matchup against the Broncos.
Coach Dennis Allen said Monday that he expects Mathieu (forearm) to play versus the Broncos, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Mathieu was forced out of Sunday's game versus the Buccaneers early by a wrist injury, but it's apparently not anything severe. If his coach's optimism proved to be misplaced, Jonathan Abram would be next in line at safety.
Mathieu (forearm) has been ruled out from returning to Sunday's matchup against Tampa Bay, John DeShazier of the Saints' official site reports. Mathieu exited with a forearm injury in the second quarter and was officially ruled out early in the fourth. He logged one tackle prior to his exit. Johnathan Abram is in line for plenty of work for the remainder of the game with Mathieu not able to return.
Mathieu is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Buccaneers due to a forearm injury. Mathieu recorded one solo tackle before leaving the game in the second quarter. If he's unable to return, Johnathan Abram and J.T. Gray would be candidates for increased defensive snaps.
Mathieu (calf/heel/groin) was a full participant in Thursday's practice session. Mathieu has been playing through multiple lower body injuries early in the regular season. However, he was absent from Thursday's injury report, indicating that he was able a full participant in practice and should be good to go for Monday's game against Kansas City. On the year, Mathieu has tallied 16 tackles (15 solo), three passes defended, two interceptions, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.
Mathieu is dealing with injuries to his calf, heel and groin, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports. Mathieu left midway through the fourth quarter of Sunday's 26-24 loss to the Falcons due to a groin injury. The 2013 third-round pick told reporters after the game that he had a calf injury earlier in the season and entered Sunday's contest with a lingering heel injury. The Saints will have an extra day's rest heading into their next game against the Chiefs on Oct. 7, and given the myriad of lower-body injuries, Mathieu could be limited or held out of practices leading up to that contest. Through the first four games of the regular season, he's registered 17 tackles (16 solo) and one interception.
Mathieu (groin) has exited Sunday's game against the Falcons, John DeShazier of the Saints' official site reports. Mathieu's exit came about halfway through the fourth quarter and after his two total tackles in the contest. The veteran safety is questionable to return, although there is little time left in the game. Jordan Howden will likely step in at free safety for Mathieu.
