The New Orleans Saints picked up some additional injuries during their Week 17 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. During his media availability postgame, interim head coach Darren Rizzi spoke about the three injuries, and what they were for each player.
However, he was definitely short on details at this time, providing minimal context for each one at the moment likely due to evaluations still being ongoing.
Regarding the injuries, Rizzi said: “Unfortunately suffered a couple injuries in the game. Kendre Miller, as you know, went out with a concussion. (Marquez Valdes-Scantling) went out there at the end, he’s getting checked on, really I think it was a re-aggravation of the same (chest) injury he had last week, we’ll see what happens. Jaylan Ford got a lower leg injury there on that punt cover, so we’ll kind of see where he is at.”
Ultimately the details are limited at the moment as players receive their evaluations, so we will see in the coming days who is ready to go for the Week 18 finale and who is unable to suit up.
