On Thursday, Lattimore was listed as “limited” due to a knee injury and his status for Week 1 was in doubt.
Lattimore is entering the fifth year of his NFL career. He’s missed just seven games over the previous four seasons with the Saints, with three of those coming in his rookie year.
He’s established himself as one of the most reliable cornerbacks in the NFL. Lattimore has 10 interceptions, 55 pass deflections, 5 forced fumbles, 4 fumble recoveries and 230 total tackles in his career.
The Saints’ Week 1 game was set to be played at home, but had to be moved to Jacksonville due to damage from Hurricane Ida earlier this month.
Kick off is at 4:25 p.m. ET on Sunday.
