The Saints are dealing with a COVID outbreak on their team. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports six coaches on the offensive side of the football have tested positive for COVID. One player has also tested positive. No word on who that might be.

The Black and Gold are also dealing with several injuries. Cornerback Marshon Lattimore will reportedly need surgery on his injured thumb and he’ll miss multiple weeks.

Center Erik McCoy reportedly has a calf strain and could miss five weeks. And defensive end Marcus Davenport will reportedly miss some playing time with a pectoral strain.

The Saints have reportedly signed wide receiver Kenny Stills to the practice squad. Stills spent his first two seasons in New Orleans before he was traded to Miami in 2015 for a third-round pick. In eight NFL seasons between the Saints, Dolphins, and Texans, Stills has 310 catches.

New Orleans is at Carolina this Sunday.

There’s sad news to report involving the LSU football program. Kevione Faulk, the 19-year-old daughter of running backs coach Kevin Faulk, has died. Details on her death were not released. Kevione also served as a student worker on the team.

LSU Coach Ed Orgeron announces running back John Emery is out for the rest of the season as he’s been ruled academically ineligible. Orgeron did not provide any specifics on what resulted in Emery being ruled ineligible. There are some asking how could this happen? Orgeron says lack of communication is not a problem…
Cut 16 (09) “…great job.”
Orgeron says freshman running back Armoni Goodwin is questionable for Saturday’s game against Central Michigan.

But Coach O says right guard Chasen Hines is expected to play this Saturday against Central Michigan, and the same could be said for Austin Deculus.
