Saints News

The New Orleans Saints are going into Week 16 without their top two rushing options. Taysom Hill is out for the season, and Alvin Kamara will miss at least this week with a groin injury.

So, how will the Saints approach the run game against the Green Bay Packers? Darren Rizzi told reporters this week to expect a “committee approach.”

New addition Clyde Edwards-Helaire wasn’t mentioned, and he will probably need more than a few days to pick up the playbook. For now he’s on the practice squad.

The New Orleans Saints play in sunny Louisiana, and the Green Bay Packers play in frigid Wisconsin. The differences in climate make it difficult to simulate the weather the Saints are about to endure when they play the Packers on Monday night, so quarterbacks coach Andrew Janocko has had to get creative.

Current forecasts have the weather at 25 degrees on Monday night at Lambeau Field, with a possibility for snow. Meanwhile, it is over 40 degrees in New Orleans. So what were the Saints to do?

A lot has been made of the improvements to the team cafeteria this summer (as part of...

Alontae Taylor and Kool-Aid McKinstry have shown some positive things at cornerback since the New Orleans Saints traded away Marshon Lattimore. There have been lapses in technique occasionally too, however. The one thing the Saints secondary has objectively struggled with is stopping big plays. That will be challenged against the Green Bay Packers.

New Orleans has allowed the third-most passing plays of over 40 yards this season. Because of that, they’ve also allowed the fifth most yards. On Monday Night Football, they have to line up across from the passing attack with the most gains of...

Slim doesn’t even describe the New Orleans Saints’ chances at making the playoffs. There is just one path, and it could be erased before the Saints even take the field in Week 16.

The Saints close out league action versus the Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football, so they’ll know exactly what they’re stepping into on game day.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers travel to Arlington, Texas to take on the Dallas Cowboys. If they are victorious, the Saints are eliminated from playoff contention. That’s also true if the Atlanta Falcons beat the New York Giants.

Any given Sunday.

The New Orleans Saints and Green Bay Packers have wrapped up their final practices on Saturday ahead of their Monday Night Football matchup. The Saints ruled out four players. Among those ruled out was running back Alvin Kamara who is facing the possibility of missing the rest of the season. New Orleans also ruled out rookie wide receiver Bub Means who may be heading back to the injured reserve after suffering a setback during recovery from his ankle injury. Veteran wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling is questionable with a chest injury and currently missing practice due to an illness...

NEW ORLEANS — The Green Bay Packers look to win for the ninth time in their past 11 games when they host the New Orleans Saints on Monday night. If they get some help Sunday night, the Packers may have already clinched a playoff berth by the time this game kicks off. They know they can wrap up a postseason spot regardless by winning Monday night. The Saints won't have quarterback Derek Carr or running back Alvin Kamara because of injuries.

Quarterbacks coach Andrew Janocko took Spencer Rattler and the rest of the Saints' quarterbacks into the walk-in freezer in the team's cafeteria Saturday to run through plays as they prepare for cold Lambeau Field.

Could Deion Sanders return to the NFL as head coach of the New Orleans Saints? Crazier things have happened, but Sanders leaving the Colorado Buffaloes and continuing to coach his son would be an unprecedented move. Shedeur Sanders is a top-flight quarterback prospect who has also been linked to the Saints in evened days.

But if we’re evaluating the elder Sanders’ candidacy on its own merits, there’s a lot to like. He went into the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a player. As a college coach, he dominated the competition at Jackson State before moving to Colorado, where he’s gone 13-11 with...

There aren’t many surprises on the New Orleans Saints’ final injury report of the week. Ahead of their game against the Green Bay Packers, the Saints ruled out four players and listed one as questionable.

Derek Carr, Alvin Kamara and Chris Olave were all ruled out, but that was the expected procedure for all three players. Darren Rizzi said Carr and Kamara were going to miss the Monday night matchup earlier this week.

Olave was designated to return from injured reserve, but a return to action this week shouldn’t have been expected.

The New Orleans Saints will be without several of their best players against the Green Bay Packers.

The odds that Bub Means returns this season aren't looking great.

This isn’t the news Bub Means was hoping for. On Saturday, New Orleans Saints interim head coach Darren Rizzi told reporters that Means had suffered a setback in practice and would likely revert to injured reserve, ending his season.

Means suffered an ankle injury earlier this season that put him on IR for several weeks; when he was cleared to return to practice, he was only able to work on a limited basis for a few days before sitting out again. Now his year is likely over with his 21-day practice window coming to a close.

It’s a disappointing turn, but these things happen in the NFL...

No matter how aggressive they are with the thermostat at 5800 Airline Drive, the New Orleans Saints can't do much to prepare for the cold weather conditions in Green Bay this week.
