Saints won't have much left at skill positions on offense on Sunday
Tyler Shough is going to have his work cut out for him this week.
The Saints have ruled out Chris Olave (blood clots) and Mason Tipton (groin) for Sunday’s game against the Falcons, and will bring up Ronnie Bell and Samori Toure from the practice squad. Kevin Austin Jr. and Dante Pettis are the other receivers already on the roster.
The move means the Saints are now without their top five receivers from the start of the season.
- Chris Olave: Hurt - Rashid Shaeed: Traded - Brandin Cooks: Released (requested by player) - Devaughn Vele: Hurt - Mason Tipton: Hurt
The Saints are also without TE Foster Moreau, TE Jack Stoll, RB Alvin Kamara, RB Kendre Miller and RB Devin Neal. So, Shough is going to have to make it work with what’s left in the cupboards to finish the season on a five-game winning streak.
