New Orleans Saints right guard Jahri Evans told reporters he'll play Thursday against the Atlanta Falcons after missing three games due to a knee injury.
The six-time Pro Bowler will likely stabilize an offensive line that surrendered 15 sacks through five games.
New Orleans is ranked 29th in the NFL in rushing yards per game, and Evans could help open more lanes for running backs Mark Ingram, Khiry Robinson, and C.J. Spiller.
Despite his proclamation, Evans was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice.
