New Orleans Saints All-Pro tight end Jimmy Graham (pictured left) was limited in practice today, one day after being held out entirely with an ankle injury.

Linebacker David Hawthorne missed Thursday's practice as he continues to rehab a hamstring injury.

Linebacker Jonathan Vilma, who said earlier this week that he would play against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Sunday, remains on the PUP list, but has practiced this week with the club. Interim coach Aaron Kromer says the Saints will wait until Sunday to make a decision on Vilma's playing status.

Other players who were limited before the bye week but practice fully today included cornerback Jabari Greer (groin), defensive end Turk McBride (ankle) running back Travaris Cadet (shoulder), wide receiver Lance Moore (hamstring), linebacker Jonathan Casillas (neck), and guard Jahri Evans (toe).

Kickoff on Sunday in Tampa is set for noon.
