Just as they were beginning to show some signs of getting healthy, the New Orleans Saints added a few more key names to their injury list. As if Sunday's 26-8 loss to the Chargers wasn't bad enough, New Orleans also lost a few vital contributors in the process of their sixth straight defeat.
The Saints still have WR Rashid Shaheed, CB Paulson Adebo, and C Erik McCoy on injured reserve, with Shaheed and Adebo out for the year. However, other key players returned to the lineup Sunday. Taysom Hill, offensive linemen Cesar Ruiz and Lucas Patrick, WR Chris Olave, and LB Pete Werner were all back after missing two or more consecutive outings.
It didn't do much good, as New Orleans dropped six straight for just the second time in 25 years. In the process, the Saints also saw other players added to their incredible list of injured players.
Some of these players could miss some time as we enter yet another week of having to watch the injury report closely. Here are the notable Saints that left Sunday's loss and added their names to the list of walking wounded.
