SAN FRANCISCO – Saints linebacker Jonathan Casillas will be active for Saturday’s NFC Divisional Playoff game with the San Francisco 49ers after missing last week’s wild-card victory against the Detroit Lions.
Casillas missed three games late in the regular season with a knee injury and returned for the season finale with the Carolina Panthers only to re-injure the knee in the first half of that game.
That forced Casillas to miss the game with the Lions, but he was able to practice on a limited basis this week and was listed as questionable for the game by coach Sean Payton on Friday.
Strong safety Roman Harper (ankle) and middle linebacker Jonathan Vilma (knee) are active after each missed a practice this week.
INACTIVES: The Saints inactives are wide receiver Lance Moore (hamstring), tight end John Gilmore (toe), cornerback Leigh Torrence, linebacker Nate Bussey, defensive end Turk McBride, tight end Tory Humphrey, and guard Eric Olsen.
Not suiting up for the 49ers are tight end Delanie Walker (jaw), cornerback Shawntae Spencer, guards Daniel Kilgore and Mike Person, nose tackle Ian Williams, wide receiver Joe Hastings, and quarterback Scott Tolzien.
