Saints' Stephone Anthony, Mark Ingram limited in practice

METAIRIE, La. -- Middle linebacker Stephone Anthony was added to the New Orleans Saints' injury report Thursday with a leg injury. But he participated in practice on a limited basis, so it still appears likely that he will play this Sunday at the Houston Texans.

Running back Mark Ingram (shoulder), left tackle Terron Armstead (knee) and outside linebacker Hau'oli Kikaha (ankle) also practiced on a limited basis for the second straight day. Linebacker Ramon Humber (hamstring) was upgraded to full participation.

All of those players seem likely to play this Sunday, as well, especially since the Saints are coming off of the bye week.

Four players remained out of team drills Thursday and seem unlikely to play this Sunday: cornerbacks Keenan Lewis (knee, hip) and Damian Swann (concussion) and linebackers Dannell Ellerbe (hip) and David Hawthorne (thigh).

On a positive note, Swann was back on the practice field Thursday and participated in the early portion that was open to the media for the first time since he suffered his second concussion in Week 8.
