Saints LB Demario Davis hurt a hamstring in position drills Wednesday and sat out the team portion of practice, NOLA.com's Matthew Paras reports. The team gave no further details on how long Davis might be out.

The Saints have several defensive starters questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts: LB Demario Davis (knee), S Tyrann Mathieu (foot), S Marcus Maye (hamstring, illness), and CB Alontae Taylor (hip). Davis and Mathieu played through their issues last week and seem likely to do so again. Taylor popped up on the injury report Thursday and put in limited practices Thursday and Friday. Maye finished the week missing Friday's workout. We'll check their statuses Sunday.

Saints LB Demario Davis (knee) and S Tyrann Mathieu (foot) are active for tonight's game aginst the Jaguars. We moved Davis down the Week 7 LB rankings for his knee risk, though, given that it was bad enough to make him a game-time decision. Mathieu managed limited practices throughout the short week and seems fine for his normal level of IDP use.

Saints LB Demario Davis is a game-time decision tonight against the Jaguars. He has missed practice this week with a knee injury despite not missing a single snap of Sunday's game against the Texans. We've knocked Davis down the Week 7 LB rankings and view him as risky even if he does play. If he can't go, journeyman Jaylon Smith would start in his place, according to Jeff Duncan of NOLA.com. We also gave Pete Werner a boost in the Week 7 rankings.

The Saints have activated LB Demario Davis and S Malcolm Jenkins from the COVID list. They placed S Marcus Williams on the list Wednesday, however, which should knock him out for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

The Saints on Friday placed LB Demario Davis on the COVID list after a positive test. That'll knock him out for Monday night's game against the Dolphins.
