Lance Moore (hamstring) was held out of practice again on Thursday.
Moore was optimistic yesterday that he'd be able to play against the 49ers, but the Saturday game date is working against him. Unless he makes it through Friday's practice, he's going to miss another game.

Despite missing practice, Lance Moore (hamstring) expressed optimism Wednesday that he will play in the Divisional round.
"It feels good," he said. "We'll see. We've got a couple more days to go." Moore won't play against the 49ers if he can't practice, but he did participate in the team's Tuesday walkthrough. Perhaps he'll practice on Thursday.

Lance Moore (hamstring) did not participate in Saints practice Wednesday.
Saints SS Roman Harper (ankle) and TE John Gilmore (toe) were also held out. Harper is expected to play against the 49ers, but Moore and Gilmore are in serious danger of missing the game. Moore has a week-to-week injury.

Lance Moore (hamstring) was on the field for Tuesday's "light practice."
Teams weren't required to issue an injury report until Wednesday, so Moore's participation level is unknown. What is known is that the Saints did no team drills in the portion of practice open to the media. Moore's presence on the field is the first positive sign in two weeks. Check back late Wednesday afternoon for an update on his status.

Saints declared WR Lance Moore, CB Leigh Torrence, LB Jonathan Casillas, OL Seth Olsen, TE Tory Humphrey, TE John Gilmore, and DE Turk McBride for the Wild Card round versus the Lions.
Moore was ruled out on Friday, hardly a positive sign for his chances of a return next week should the Saints advance. Robert Meachem and Devery Henderson will pick up snaps as legit starters for the fantasy playoffs in a game that features an over/under of 59 points.

Lance Moore (hamstring) missed practice again on Thursday.
Moore pulled the hamstring in practice two weeks ago after missing time with a previous hamstring injury in mid-November. Our expectation is that he will be held out of Saturday night's game versus the Lions.

Lance Moore (hamstring) did not participate in Saints practice Wednesday.
Moore is not expected to be available for Saturday's Wild Card tilt with the Lions, but with so much on the line, it's possible he could be cleared if he makes even minimal progress the next two days. If Moore can't go, Robert Meachem and Devery Henderson will both be in for bigger roles against Detroit.

According to Jeff Duncan of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, Lance Moore (hamstring) "isn't expected to be available any time soon."
Although Duncan concedes that it's a "strictly a guess," he twice voiced skepticism when answering Twitter questions about Moore's availability for Saturday's night game versus the Lions. It's time to drop Moore down fantasy playoffs rankings while bumping Robert Meachem and Devery Henderson. Be sure to check back Wednesday afternoon for the Saints' practice report.
