The New Orleans Saints will be quite shorthanded once again when they battle the Arizona Cardinals tomorrow night.

They have been without Michael Thomas and Jarvis Landry for multiple weeks now. Star cornerback Marshon Lattimore missed last week.

All three of them will be out this week as well.

Saints' Offensive guard Andrus Peat and tight end Adam Trautman can be added to that list. Clearly, they will be without a lot of offensive talent.

The Saints will need players like Chris Olave, Bradley Roby, Paulson Adebo, and Calvin Throckmorton to step up to fill the voids.

Taysom Hill may have an expanded role on offense once again for the Saints, too.

At quarterback, their starter is still unknown.

Andy Dalton has been practicing this week after suffering a back injury last week. Jameis Winston was not 100% on Monday, but he may be progressing enough to play for the Saints.

We will find that out sometime tomorrow before the game begins.

Expect Taysom Hill to be rotated in to take snaps as well, of course.

Both the Saints and Cardinals are battling a plethora of injuries. Neither team can use that excuse if they fail to get a victory on Thursday night.
