Saints defensive depth takes another hit with NFL suspension to backup defensive back
The New Orleans Saints will be without another defender during Sunday's game against the New York Giants. On Wednesday, NFL Insider Tom Pelissero reports that the NFL is suspending New Orleans defensive back Roderic Teamer.
According to Pelissero, Teamer is being suspended three games for violation of the NFL substance abuse policy. He'll be eligible for reinstatement after the team's Monday night game against Green Bay on December 23, so could be back in the lineup for the Week 17 game against the Raiders. Teamer, 27, is in his first year with the Saints. He started his NFL career in 2019 with the Chargers as an undrafted rookie out of Tulane. After one year with the Chargers, he'd play with the Raiders for three years between 2021 and 2023.
