More information is rolling in on the multiple New Orleans Saints players who left Sunday’s loss to the Minnesota Vikings due to injury. Cornerback Marshon Lattimore exited the game on a trainer’s cart after his lower leg was pinned underneath other players while he tried to help out on a tackle; and NewOrleans.Football’s Nick Underhill reports that Lattimore will undergo imaging on his ankle sprain to determine the severity of the injury.
The good news is that the Saints are going into their bye week, which will give Lattimore and other injured players time to rest up before their next game. The bad news is that any time he misses during games will be felt. His backup Isaac Yiadom has played admirably on limited snaps this season but when he’s on top of his game there are few corners around the league with Lattimore’s abilities. Hopefully this isn’t a very serious injury and he’ll be able to return for the back half of the 2023 schedule.
