The New Orleans Saints announced that cornerback Marshon Lattimore would be questionable to return during Week 10’s game with the Minnesota Vikings, meaning a third starter was injured at U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday: Lattimore, quarterback Derek Carr, and wide receiver Michael Thomas. A very healthy Saints squad is suddenly looking like they could some rest in the bye week.
Lattimore was injured when another player rolled onto his leg while trying to help out with a tackle late in the fourth quarter; his teammate Malcolm Roach got the wind knocked out of him in the collision but was able to return to play. Lattimore left the game on a medical cart for further evaluation, though he was able to get to the sideline on his own without assistance.
Veteran backup Isaac Yiadom stepped in for Lattimore with Paulson Adebo remaining out on the other side and Alontae Taylor sticking to the slot.
