The New Orleans Saints spent their bye week stewing over a loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 10 and will be back in action this Sunday to take on the Atlanta Falcons in an important NFC South division game.

The Saints have been a bit of a rollercoaster throughout the 2023 NFL season as they’ve yet to put together a complete game on both sides of the football field.

Some of that has to do with their injury luck as they’ve missed some key players almost every week this year.

For example, Derek Carr was forced out of a game due to a concussion and that put the onus on Jameis Winston to try and lead a comeback.

New Orleans continues to endure injuries as they recently placed Michael Thomas on injured reserve as he hurt his knee early in the first quarter against Minnesota.

Aside from Thomas, the team also announced they’ve placed star defensive back Marshon Lattimore on injured reserve and brought up defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul from the practice squad via Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.

Pierre-Paul will make his Saints debut on Sunday.

Lattimore hurt his ankle in the fourth quarter against the Vikings and was eventually carted off to the locker room.

Head coach Dennis Allen didn’t rule out placing Lattimore on IR earlier in the week and it seems that the team decided that the ankle injury was serious enough for him to miss at least four games.

Losing Lattimore at this junction of the season is a huge blow, so the rest of the secondary is going to have to step up in his absence.

Bears Are Reportedly Doing ‘Serious Homework’ On 1 Coaching Candidate

Interim head coach Thomas Brown hasn’t won a game, leading most to believe there is little chance he gets any consideration to be the permanent replacement. With that in mind, the Bears reportedly are looking into other possible candidates. “The Bears are looking for a ‘leader of men’ for their opening at HC, and GM Ryan Poles has been doing ‘serious homework’ on [Miami] Dolphins DC Anthony Weaver, per Dianna Russini,” JPAFootball wrote on X.

This year, the betting markets believe they have a chance of competing for a championship, but it’s not a huge one. According to Polymarket, the Lakers have an eight percent shot of going to the Finals. Even with some smart acquisitions and Luka Doncic starting his first full season with the team, the Lakers still have their work cut out for them.

Standout Packers RB Gets Nominated For Notable NFL Award

With Josh Jacobs out with a knee injury, someone would have to step up to lead the way against the Minnesota Vikings. Fortunately for them, backup RB Emanuel Wilson was more than up to the task. That’s why, after his strong performance, it’s not much of a surprise to see him being nominated for the FedEx Air and Ground Player of the Week: “Packers RB Emanuel Wilson (125 total yards, 2 TDs) is a nominee for the FedEx Air and Ground Players of the Week award in Week 12,” Kruse posted on X. #Packers RB Emanuel Wilson (125 total yards, 2 TDs) is a nominee for the FedEx Air and Ground Players of the Week award in Week 12. — Zach Kruse (@zachkruse2) November 24, 2025 Wilson was shifty and explosive out of the backfield. He forced missed tackles left and right, and he was a factor with his pass blocking and reliable hands in the passing game as well. It was a much-welcome per...
