Bryan Bresee appeared on the New Orleans Saints’ Thursday injury report due to a back issue. The third-year defensive lineman, who has never missed a game in his career, was listed as a limited participant in practice. It remains unclear whether the injury occurred during the session.
This season, Bresee has started all nine games, recording 1.5 sacks and two tackles for loss while playing a career-high 71% of defensive snaps.
Those two players were the only Saints not in attendance at Thursday’s practice session.
The Carolina Panthers upgraded running back Rico Dowdle (quadriceps) to limited participation after missing Wednesday’s practice.
