Saints' Mark Ingram: Doesn't practice Thursday

Ingram (toe) missed Thursday's practice.

Analysis:

Although Ingram took part in the stretching portion of practice, he was shuttled off the field once individual drills kicked off, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune. At the very least, a limited appearance Friday would ease the minds of his fantasy owners, but there's no telling if Ingram can accomplish the feat. Friday's injury report will ultimately give the final ruling on his availability for Sunday's game versus the Lions, which could feature even more Tim Hightower yet again.
