Saints rule Terron Armstead out

CLEVELAND, OH - SEPTEMBER 14: Quarterback Drew Brees #9 talks to guard Ben Grubbs #66 running back Travaris Cadet #39 and offensive tackle Terron Armstead #72 of the New Orleans Saints from the line of scrimmage during the second half against the Cleveland Browns at FirstEnergy Stadium on September 14, 2014 in Cleveland, Ohio.

The Saints have ruled starting left tackle Terron Armstead and backup running back Daniel Lasco out of Thursday night’s game at Carolina.

Armstead has knee and quad injuries. He missed three games earlier in the season with a knee injury.

Lasco remains out with a hamstring injury.

Cornerback Delvin Breaux is listed as questionable. He’s returned for the last two games after missing six games due to a broken fibula, but Breaux was held out the abbreviated practice week and is listed with a fibula injury. That he’s listed as questionable despite not practicing indicates he could be a true gametime decision Thursday night.

The Saints are 4-5 and the Panthers are 3-6. Thursday’s game isn’t an elimination game -- the Falcons are 6-4 and in first place in the NFC South -- but the loser will leave itself little to no margin for error the rest of the way.
