The New Orleans Saints and Seattle Seahawks will soon kick off at CenturyLink Field, but the black and gold won’t exactly be at full strength. They’ve already ruled out several key players before this Week 3 game as they manage different injuries — namely, starting quarterback Drew Brees, who underwent surgery on his throwing hand. He’s joined on the inactive list by wide receiver Tre’Quan Smith (who injured his ankle last week against the Los Angeles Rams) and defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins (who is close to returning from an Achilles injury suffered back in January). Here’s the full list of inactive players from each team:
From the Saints
- QB Drew Brees
