It’s been a rough year for the saints in the injury department. The team is decimated with injuries to key players including, Jameis Winston, Michael Thomas, and Alvin Kamara. Not to mention, a pile up on the defensive side as well.
The Saints will try to heal up as much as possible for a Sunday afternoon matchup against the lowly Jets. At 5-7 New Orleans is just barely in the hunt in the NFC playoff picture.
As of right now, ESPN’s FPI gives the Saints a 20-percent chance of making the postseason.
