What It Means:

Lattimore sat out Week 12 and was not present at the beginning of Friday's practice session. On the other hand, he was officially listed as limited so it looks like there's a chance he plays. If he plays, it would be a big boost to the Saints' defense, which would be forced to start one of P.J. Williams or De'Vante Harris across from a healthy Ken Crawley.

Through 9 games, Lattimore has 36 tackles, 9 passes defensed and 2 interceptions. He's projected for 2.0 tackles, 0.4 pass defenses and 0.1 interceptions if he's able to play against the Panthers this week.
