Lattimore (hip) returned to practice in a limited capacity Wednesday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports. Lattimore suffered a hip flexor in late July, worked with trainers on the sideline Aug. 13 and finally returned Wednesday. The eighth-year pro appears on track to play in New Orleans' Week 1 matchup with the Panthers on Sept. 8.
Lattimore (hip) worked on the sidelines with trainers at Tuesday's practice, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports. Tuesday marked the first time Lattimore has been on the field since he sustained a hip injury during practice in late July. The 2017 first-round corner is a key piece in the secondary, so the Saints will continue to be cautious with his injury and have the four-time Pro Bowl corner ready for Week 1 against the Panthers on Sept. 8. Lattimore appeared in the first 10 regular-season games last year before suffering a season-ending high-ankle sprain in Week 10 against Minnesota. He finished 2023 with 48 tackles (39 solo), eight passes defended and one interception.
Lattimore left practice Friday due to an issue with a hip flexor, John Hendrix of SI.com reports. The severity of the injury is unknown at this point, but New Orleans will want to exercise an abundance of caution with its four-time Pro Bowler regardless. Until Lattimore can come back, Paulson Adebo figures to work as the Saints' top corner during team drills.
Lattimore has reported to June minicamp, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports. Lattimore had been the common topic of trade rumors this offseason, but back in May coach Dennis Allen met with the four-time Pro Bowler and appeared to mend relations between he and the Saints. That sets up Lattimore to reprise his role as New Orleans' top cornerback, especially as he seems recovered from the ankle issue that caused him to miss the final seven games of the 2023 season.
Head coach Dennis Allen told reporters Wednesday that Lattimore (ankle) will be on the Saints' roster in 2024, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports. Lattimore missed the final seven games of the Saints' 2023 campaign due to an ankle injury, but it now seems as if he's been able to move past the issue. The four-time Pro Bowl cornerback has been in trade rumors as of late, but after Allen's "positive conversation" with Lattimore regarding those rumors, he's expected to remain in New Orleans in 2024. Lattimore will presumably be the Saints' top cornerback once again next season, playing alongside Paulson Adebo and 2024 second-round pick Kool-Aid McKinstry.
Considering Lattimore was carted into the locker room Sunday, and head coach Dennis Allen called the injury "fairly significant," according to Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com, the news could be worse for the 27-year-old. However, he's still potentially facing a multi-game absence, and Rapoport stated he is considered week-to-week. Although the Saints are now headed into a bye and will not return to the field until Nov. 26 against the Falcons, which will mitigate the number of games, if any, Lattimore will likely miss.
If there's a silver lining for Lattimore, it's that it doesn't seem like the ankle issue will be season-ending. New Orleans' practice reports this week will give more clues as to the severity of the injury.
Lattimore was carted off to the locker room after initially getting looked at in the medical tent. The MRI on Monday will provide more clarity on the severity of the sprain. If it's a minor sprain, Lattimore will have the benefit of a Week 11 bye to rest and recover, and would aim to be available for Week 12 against the Falcons on Nov. 26.
Lattimore went to the medical tent before being carted to the locker room. Isaac Yiadom has taken over for Lattimore opposite Paulson Adebo at cornerback.
