Saints coach Dennis Allen highlighted the ongoing injury challenges, noting, "We've been doing the studies [on injuries]. Obviously, this year we're high. Last year we were probably right around the league average in terms of soft tissue injuries, time missed, all that kind of stuff." This underscores the team's struggle with injuries in the current season compared to previous years.
In light of the mounting defensive injuries, the Saints are left with Alontae Taylor as the lone healthy cornerback. Coach Allen stated, 'The Saints could rely on Ugo Amadi or rookie Rico Payton, who is questionable this week,' emphasizing the team's depth challenges at key positions.
Despite a wave of injuries hitting the cornerback position, the Saints managed to welcome back several key players last week including starting guard Cesar Ruiz and linebacker Pete Werner, indicating some recovery progress in the team.
The Saints' injury woes have been concerning, with Allen mentioning that they 'certainly had a few more' injuries this season compared to the previous two years, highlighting the need for a re-evaluation of their injury management strategies.
