Payton Turner goes to IR, Vannett returns and other Saints news

Not the best day for the Saints as the injuries continue to pile up along with unfortunate luck. The Saints have yet to have a full health and it doesn’t appear that it will happen anytime this season, as one guy comes back another one goes has been the story of the Saints this year. While there are lots of negatives, that doesn’t mean there aren’t positive updates as well. 

Injury report

*Chauncey Gardner Johnson has a broken toe and is believed to be week to week. Kamara doesn’t look like he’ll play, unless something drastically changes. Things don’t look for Terron Armstead either for this week. 

Saints news

The Saints will not be getting Odell Beckham Jr. as he is signing a one year deal with the Rams. The Saints could end up getting him in the offseason but for now he is a LA Ram. 

Marshon Lattimore got the cast off his hand Monday after receiving surgery back in week two. 

Ty Montgomery was seen taking snaps and reps at running back during practice. Montgomery is questionable this week.
