Packers receiver Davante Adams is still hoping to play tonight against the Saints.

Although Adams is still officially listed as doubtful with a hamstring injury, he wants to play and he’ll be given every opportunity to show he can go in pregame warmups, according to multiple reports.

Adams did make the trip to New Orleans, which he wouldn’t have done if there were no chance of him playing, so the Packers are holding out hope.

Adams is the Packers’ leading receiver with 17 catches for 192 yards and two touchdowns this season. He was also the Packers’ leading receiver last season, but the...

New Orleans Saints star wide receiver Michael Thomas, who will miss his second straight game Sunday night with a high ankle sprain, was "moving really well" during Friday's workout and wants to play in Week 4 against the Detroit Lions, a league source told ESPN.

Thomas' availability ultimately will hinge on whether he is cleared by doctors, but the record-setting receiver "looked good" this weekend, according to the source.

Thomas has not practiced since he suffered the ankle injury during the final minutes of New Orleans' Week 1 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Can Saints offense get back on track? Who are Green Bay's non-QB stars? 3 things to watch for

At least the New Orleans Saints didn’t have to wait as long as usual to get the bad taste out of their mouths.

Last week was a tough one for the Saints, losing 34-24 to the Las Vegas Raiders in a nationally televised game. Their punishment is to play a surging Green Bay Packers team after a shortened week of preparation in another prime time game.

But history is working on the Saints side. Since the start of the 2010 season, New Orleans has gone 19-3 in prime time games at the Superdome, and they’ve won five straight. The Saints also haven’t lost back-to-back regular-season games since...

'How does a kid like this get cut?' Saints' Taysom Hill faces Packers team that let him go

The 2017 Green Bay Packers had begun trimming their roster to 53 players and Max McCaffrey didn’t make the cut, so he started exchanging goodbyes.

The wide receiver was in good spirits, though, after signing to the New Orleans Saints’ practice squad. As he continued to finish up his business in the locker room, one more person walked in. And McCaffrey had to thank him, because without this rookie quarterback, McCaffrey himself might not have found a landing spot.

“We start talking like, ‘Taysom, it’s been awesome, man. I’m heading out to New Orleans,’” McCaffrey said. “He’s like, ‘Oh...

Drew Brees versus Aaron Rodgers - can football get any better?

Tomorrow night, the 1-1 New Orleans Saints - coming off a humiliating upset at the hands of the Las Vegas Raiders - return home to face the undefeated Green Bay Packers.

This matchup has lot a bit of its star power of late, as 2019 Offensive Player of the Year Michael Thomas is already ruled out for tomorrow game and Packers star receiver, Davante Adams is listed as “doubtful” to play after missing practice all week.

Both teams are hoping to make a deep playoff run in 2020, and each team has the talent to be a contender in...

New Orleans Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan was fined $15,000 for unnecessary roughness stemming from a horse collar tackle against the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday, a source told The Times-Picayune | New Orleans Advocate.

Jordan was flagged in the fourth quarter of that game for a horse collar tackle on Raiders running back Josh Jacobs.

Jordan was called for two penalties against the Raiders, a neutral zone infraction and the horse collar. Jordan said after the game that he wanted clarity on that.

"At the end of the day when you see those penalties, there's no excuse to be made,"...

Walker: For Drew Brees, Saints' showdown vs. Packers about more than matchup vs. Aaron Rodgers

Remember all the hype surrounding Brees vs. Brady in Week 1?

The Week 3 matchup could be even more intriguing.

And no, I'm not referring to Drew Brees vs. Aaron Rodgers, which I'll get to later.

How about Brees vs. himself?

If you're a Saints' fan, that's really what you'll be paying attention to Sunday night when the Green Bay Packers come to town.

Will it be the Brees of old? Or will it the Brees who's getting old, as many are starting to think after the first two weeks of the season.

With a scaled back offseason and no preseason, it's too soon to write Brees off based on a sample...

Three different New Orleans Saints defenders were fined more than $9,000 for three respective incidents in their Week 1 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a source told The Times-Picayune | New Orleans Advocate.

The three receiving fines were defensive end Cameron Jordan, cornerback Marshon Lattimore and defensive back D.J. Swearinger.

Swearinger was fined $9,412 for unnecessary roughness, per source. Swearinger's flag for a hit on a defenseless receiver came in the fourth quarter after Tampa Bay quarterback Tom Brady connected with wide receiver Chris Godwin for a gain of 9 yards...

Packers receiver Davante Adams is officially doubtful for Sunday’s game against the Saints, with a hamstring injury. Although he wasn’t downgraded to out (which means, as the team has confirmed, he made the trip to New Orleans), the Packers have promoted a receiver from the practice squad.

Darrius Shepherd joins the roster for Sunday night’s game against the Saints.

Joining Shepherd in making the climb from the practice squad are tight end John Lovett and defensive lineman Billy Winn.

The other Packers receivers are Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Allen Lazard, and Malik Taylor. Last week...

The New Orleans Saints have officially signed wide receiver Bennie Fowler and defensive end Margus Hunt back to their active roster, placed running back Ty Montgomery on injured reserve and waived offensive lineman Will Clapp.

It’s been routine during the week early in the season to moved the veterans Fowler and Hunt back and forth from the practice squad to the 53-man roster ahead of game day.

Montgomery (hamstring) was added to the Saints’ injury report Friday. Since he is now on IR, he will miss at least three weeks.

Clapp, the former Brother Martin and LSU standout, has been a...

The New Orleans Saints made a host of roster moves on Saturday, the team announced.

The Saints signed veteran wide receiver Bennie Fowler III and veteran defensive end Margus Hunt to the active roster off their practice squad.

Because the Saints signed them to the active roster, New Orleans needed to make two corresponding moves.

Running back Ty Montgomery was placed on reserve/injured after sustaining a hamstring injury that limited him in practice on Friday. He was originally given a "questionable" status for Sunday's game against his old club.

Montgomery will miss a minimum of...

The Saints will look to bounce back after a tough loss in Las Vegas. The team will be without Michael Thomas for the second straight game, so they will be asking the 41-year-old quarterback to lean on Tre’Quan Smith and rusty, Emmanuel Sanders for the second straight matchup.

As for the Green Bay Packers, Aaron Rodgers has led his offense to back to back 40+ pt games. He’s silencing the doubters, and proving that he’s the early choice to receive the MVP award after two Weeks.

These Hall of Fame quarterbacks lead their competitive rosters into a clash of NFC power. Let’s take a look at...
