The Facts: The Saints have released their official injury report for Sunday's game against the Bears, and Hill has avoided injury designation.
Diehards Line:
It would appear Hill has passed through the NFL concussion protocol, but the Saints will be without their sack leader against the Bears on Sunday. DE Trey Hendrickson has been ruled out of the game. Hendrickson has a neck injury and went from limited participation on Wednesday to being out of practice Thursday. He remained on the sideline for Friday’s session. Guard Nick Easton is the only other player with an injury designation. He will not play because of a concussion. Wide receiver Michael Thomas remains on injured reserve, so he is not on the team’s injury report. He must be activated by Saturday afternoon in order to play in the game. Tight end Josh Hill (hand) also avoided injury designation.
