Week 17 Preview: 11-4 New Orleans Saints Host 9-6 Tampa Bay Buccaneers

To add further insult to literal injury, there are two questionable players on the defensive side of the ball for these New Orleans Saints too. DL Anthony Hargrove (knee) and LB Anthony Waters (ankle) were also held out of Friday’s practice resting injuries and are officially listed as questionable for the game this Sunday. The Saints aren’t very deep at all on the defensive line this year, so the potential of being without Hargrove at DT is the larger concern here, especially since they are so deep at the linebacker position that they played against Atlanta last weekend with LB’s Danny Clark and Kawika Mitchell on the inactives list.
