The New Orleans Saints were already dealing with a ton of injuries heading into this game. Starting quarterback Jameis Winston, starting receiver Jarvis Landry, starting safety Marcus Maye, starting receiver Michael Thomas, offensive lineman Calvin Throckmorton, tight end Nick Vannett, and defensive end Payton Turner were all inactive against the Seahawks in Week 5.
With that, there wasn't a whole lot of offense outside of Alvin Kamara and Chris Olave. Then, the unthinkable happened. Rookie receiver Olave was slammed to the ground and appeared to be knocked unconscious.
Then, we got word that he was ruled out with a concussion.
According to Jeff Duncan, that then leaves the Saints with just three healthy receivers in the game. Those guys are Marquez Callaway, Tre'Quan Smith, and Keith Kirkwood.
The Saints' offense is going to continue to struggle while players are falling like flies.
