Saints WR Moore to miss wild-card showdown vs. Lions

Drew Brees will have to face the Detroit Lions without one of his most reliable targets, as wideout Lance Moore was not able to comeback from a hamstring injury fast enough to be ready for Saturday's NFC Wild Card Game.

Moore did not practice all week and then officially was ruled out for Saturday's game when the New Orleans Saints released their official injury report. 

Moore did not play in last weekend's win over the Carolina Panthers after injuring his hamstring the week before against the Atlanta Falcons. Saints safety Malcolm Jenkins (neck), wideout Robert Meachem (knee) and linebacker Jonathan Vilma (knee) are listed as probable.

Lions safety Chris Harris (back) is doubtful. Harris was limited in practice on Wednesday but sat out Thursday's and Friday's sessions. 

Lions defensive end Cliff Avril (back), cornerback Aaron Berry (shoulder), safety Louis Delmas (knee), defensive tackle Nick Fairley (foot), cornerback Chris Houston (hand, knee), wideout Calvin Johnson (Achilles), cornerback Alphonso Smith (foot), running back Kevin Smith (ankle, knee) and defensive tackle Corey Williams (hip) are all probable.
