The Saints starting offensive line is battling some injuries leading up to the NFC Championship

METAIRIE, La. — The Saints injury report for their Wednesday practice before the NFC Championship shows a few key pieces are on the mend.

According to the report, receiver Keith Kirkwood and tight end Benjamin Watson both did not practice.

The Saints attributed Kirkwood's absence to a calf injury that forced him to miss the end of Sunday's win over the Eagles after he scored the team's first touchdown of the day.

Watson missed practice due to an unspecified illness.
