We’re getting closer to the Week 13 opener between the New Orleans Saints and Los Angeles Rams at Caesars Superdome, but some players will be watching this game from the sidelines. Whether due to injuries or coaching decisions, each team has reported its list of inactive players for Sunday’s game.

The big question for the Saints was whether Pro Bowl center Erik McCoy would be able to leave after missing practice this week. He returned from groin surgery just before halftime, but aggravated that injury against the Cleveland Browns and did not fully recover after halftime. And now we know he won’t play on Sunday. This week it will likely be Shane Lemieux hitting the ball to Derek Carr from the middle.

• DE Tanoh Kpassagnon (injury)
