Saints Get Brutal Injury News Before Sunday’s Game
The New Orleans Saints are coming off a huge Week 1 win over the Green Bay Packers, but the NFC South franchise has received some unfortunate injury news before Week 2.
New Orleans announced on Sunday morning that two key players will miss this afternoon’s game against the Carolina Panthers.
