Mark Ingram absent from Saints' practice Thursday due to illness

New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram missed Thursday's practice with an illness.

What It Means:

He should be fine for Sunday's matchup with the Carolina Panthers. Ingram has seen more work in the passing-game lately, helping stabilize his floor as a RB1.

We expect Ingram to rush 14 times for 58 yards and 0.18 touchdowns on Sunday, adding 4 catches for 33 yards and 0.19 scores through the air.
