Saints head coach Dennis Allen said today they will make a game time decision on who will start at quarterback tomorrow night when the Black and Gold face the Arizona Cardinals. It appears Andy Dalton will make his fourth consecutive start as he was the one who spoke to the media before the team left New Orleans.

The Saints have ruled out the following players for tomorrow night, wide receivers Jarvis Landry and Michael Thomas, plus tight end Adam Trautman, offensive guard Andrus Peat and cornerback Marshon Lattimore.

LSU coach Brian Kelly says there’s a chance running back Armoni Goodwin will play Saturday after missing the last three weeks with a hamstring injury, while Jack Bech is back practicing after leaving the Florida game with a back injury.

Louisiana Tech head football coach Sonny Cumbie says star inside linebacker Tyler Grubbs will not play this Saturday and for the foreseeable future because of an injury. Grubbs leads the team in tackles and tackles for a loss. The Bulldogs will host Rice on Saturday for homecoming.
