The New Orleans Saints lost wide receiver Michael Thomas in Week 10 before their bye. He is now on injured reserve. In Week 12, players are dropping like flies for the Saints.
Wide receiver Rashid Shaheed left in the first half with an injury. Early in the second half, Chris Olave took a hard hit in mid-air on a poor throw by Derek Carr. He was forced to exit the game, as a result.
Shaheed and Olave are not the only key players to suffer injuries for the Saints, either.
Offensive linemen Erik McCoy and Ryan Ramczyk are both being evaluated for ailments, too. Tight end Juwan Johnson is being evaluated for a concussion after a hard collision as well.
Alontae Taylor left for a bit in the first half on defense, but he returned.
UPDATE: Olave suffered a concussion. He will not return for New Orleans. Cam Jordan left the game early in the fourth quarter with an injury.
The list continues to grow as time passes in their Week 12 matchup against the rival Falcons. There was seemingly a 'log-jam' at the injury tent for the Saints in the third quarter, according to the FOX broadcast.
