The New Orleans Saints are just now getting some key players back from injuries. Jarvis Landry is one of the most recent guys to get back healthy, on a team that is currently dealing with injuries almost more than any other team in the league.
Landry was on the injured reserve list for an ankle injury he was dealing with and came back against the Baltimore Ravens. Since then, he has been slowly working his way back with the offense.
When you are out for as long as Landry was, things can change within the offense.
I mean, if we are being honest, this is the NFL, and things can change in as quickly as a week, let alone four.
Landry came back, and all of a sudden, rookie receiver Chris Olave is the new number-one guy. Not saying Landry was, but he was definitely ahead of Olave in the pecking order the last time he played.
So, coming back, he has to realize what his role is.
"Everything that I was brought here to do, you know," Landry said of his role. "My passion, moving the chains, great teammate, be a leader, and help win games, whatever my role would be that week."
The Saints could have one of the best receiving corps in the league if all were healthy. I don't think anyone thought Olave would be this good this early.
Landry hasn't been exactly what we thought he would be, but at least he is bought in, and that's exactly what that comment should tell you.
