METAIRIE, La. -- Fresh off the best season of his NFL career -- and heading into the final year of his contract -- New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram has been suspended four games for violating the NFL policy on performance-enhancing substances.

Ingram, 28, will miss games against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Cleveland Browns, Atlanta Falcons and New York Giants. He will be eligible to return to the Saints' active roster on Monday, Oct.

1. Ingram will be eligible to participate in all offseason practices and preseason games.

The veteran running back is scheduled to earn a base salary of $4 million in the final year of his contract, meaning he will forfeit nearly $1 million -- and possibly more in bonus money -- by missing the four games. The suspension could prove even more costly if he was angling for a lucrative contract extension before the season kicked off.

In the meantime, second-year pro Alvin Kamara will take on an even bigger role in the Saints offense after being named NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. Ingram and Kamara made league history in 2017 by becoming the first backfield teammates to each surpass 1,500 yards from scrimmage.

6 takeaways from a crippling Saints loss to the Packers

This was one of the more painful games to watch in recent memory. Any thing that could go wrong went wrong. Spencer Rattler had multiple plays that took points off the board. The defense couldn’t tackle anyone in green and yellow.

There hadn’t been a shutout all year long… until Monday night. It was the first time the Saints had been shutout since failing to score against the San Francisco 49ers in 2022.

The Packers dominated th Saints in every aspect of the game. New Orleans couldn’t bring down Jordan Love, stall Josh Jacobs, or hang with Packers receivers in coverage. There aren’t many ways to make this one look better. It was an ugly loss, and unfortunately, it was on prime time for everyone to see.

The New Orleans Saints return home to the dome on Sunday to take on Derek Carr’s old team, the Las Vegas Raiders. It remains to be seen if he will play against them this week as he is still dealing with an injury to his left hand. What we do know is that the Saints come into this game on a short week after getting blown out 35-0 by the Green Bay Packers on MNF. It was unquestionably the Saints worst loss of the season as they were without their starting QB, RB, TE, and several WR’s. They will look to bounce back this week at home in their final game in the Caesars Superdome this season...

The lights were too bright for the team Mickey Loomis built

Monday night’s blowout loss did more than anything else to prove the lights were too bright for the team Mickey Loomis built. But that’s just the latest example in a disturbing trend. This year’s New Orleans Saints team didn’t show up in three prime time games.

The Saints lost 34-0 to the Green Bay Packers on Monday night. That’s after they were beaten 33-10 by their old coach Sean Payton on a Thursday night game earlier this season. And that followed a 26-13 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on another Monday night early this year. All told, the Saints have been outscored 93-23 across those...

Losing in a big shutout didn't help the Saints' draft position in 2025

The promise of a better draft pick is supposed to be the silver lining whenever your NFL team loses. But that hasn’t been the case for the New Orleans Saints. They picked a bad year to go belly up, and an embarrassing loss to the Green Bay Packers on Monday night didn’t do anything to help their outlook.

According to the experts at Tankathon, if the 2025 NFL draft started today the Saints would be slotted in at No. 10 overall — the same position they held before slipping to 5-10 this season.

That wouldn’t be the case in most years. Since the NFL introduced its 17-game season back in...
