New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore is listed as questionable for his team's game against the Atlanta Falcons on Thanksgiving Day, per Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk.
Lattimore, who has missed the last two games with a hamstring injury, was limited in practice on Wednesday.
In the nine contests he has played this season, Lattimore has logged 38 tackles, an interception and 10 passes defended.
The Saints' defense has shown drastic improvement this season, and Lattimore's performance has played a significant role in that, so it would obviously strongly behoove New Orleans to get Lattimore back as soon as possible.
Lattimore played his collegiate football at Ohio State and was originally selected by the Saints with the 11th overall pick of the 2017 NFL Draft.
He appeared in 13 contests during his rookie campaign, finishing with 52 tackles, five picks, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery, 18 passes defended and a defensive touchdown en route to a Pro Bowl appearance.
Then, last year, Lattimore participated in every game, totaling 59 tackles, a couple of interceptions, four forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries and 12 passes defended.
New Orleans is 9-2 on the year, most recently defeating the Carolina Panthers by a score of 34-31 this past Sunday. The Saints are also looking to avenge an embarrassing Week 10 loss to the Falcons in which Atlanta hammered them 26-9 in New Orleans.
Following their Thanksgiving matchup with the Falcons, the Saints will head back home for a showdown with the San Francisco 49ers next Sunday in a game that could ultimately determine who earns the No. 1 seed in the NFC.
