The Saints could be getting some players back in the mix sooner rather than later, but their problems run much deeper than that.
The Saints could be getting some players back in the mix for the Chargers game. Naturally, the team is very riddled with injuries, and the hope for New Orleans that they can get in a spot where they get some of their guys back and beat this thing out. Unfortunately, the team's problems run much deeper and rebounding rom their 2-5 start will prove to be a real challenge.
Dennis Allen said on Friday that there's a good chance Cesar Ruiz comes back against the Chargers, and he already said that he was hopeful for Taysom Hill returning. Spencer Rattler, who suffered a hip pointer against the Broncos, should be fine and is expected to make his third start next Sunday.. Nick Saldiveri is week-to-week with a shoulder injury, and Marshon Lattimore's hamstring is not expected to be a big deal. Of course, we'll see.
Derek Carr will start throwing again on Saturday and the Saints will see how he progresses through it. Allen said, "This is not something that's a pain tolerance question. This is a functionality question." Carr's outlook for the Chargers game is questionable, but should be back against the Panthers in the following week.I officially started covering the New Orleans Saints & other NFL topics in 2011. My work has been featured on various outlets over the years. I worked closely with Skyhorse Publishing in Fall 2018 to update the book, Tales From the New Orleans Saints Sidelines, which filled in all Saints material from the 2013-2017 seasons.
