Payton says running back Khiry Robinson’s leg injury the win is season-ending. Robinson has scored four touchdowns for the Saints this season. He ends 2015 with 56 rushes for 180 yards, and 17 receptions for 115 yards.

There is also a report that says the Saints are set to sign veteran running back Tim Hightower to replace Robinson. That would put four running backs on the roster.

LSU says the voice of the Tigers, Jim Hawthorne, will miss the first LSU football game of his broadcasting career on Saturday. The Tigers play Bama in Tuscaloosa this weekend. In a release, officials say Hawthrone underwent a medical prcedure late last week and is still recovering but should be back in a couple of weeks.

LSU is ranked No. 4 in this week’s AP Top 25 and USA Today’s Coaches Top 25. The Tigers received five first place votes in the AP Poll and one in the Coaches Poll. Alabama remained No. 7 in both polls. The LSU and Alabama SEC battle is set to kickoff at 7:00 p.m.

The LSU basketball team is set to begin a promising 2015-2016 campaign later this month, and in no surprise, the Tigers find themselves ranked in the initial AP Top 25 poll. The much hyped Tigers came in at No. 21 in the preseason rankings.
