The New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers released their final injury report ahead of their Divisional Round playoff game, giving defensive end Trey Hendrickson (neck) the green light to suit up after he practiced fully on Friday. Hendrickson was credited with multiple sacks against Tom Brady in the regular season, ultimately tying Rams superstar Aaron Donald for the second-most sacks in the NFL (13.5).

Just one Saints player has been ruled out (cornerback Patrick Robinson, with a hamstring injury), though three of them are questionable: quarterback Taysom Hill (knee) and running back Latavius Murray (quad), both of whom play important roles in the New Orleans offense, as was backup guard Will Clapp (not injury related). The Saints can win without them, but it would be easier with all hands on deck.

Meanwhile, Tampa Bay gave several of their star players some rest during the week as they recover from various minor injuries. Here’s everything we learned on Friday:
