Saints not cleared to host fans for Sept. 27 game vs. Packers

Saints have not been cleared to host fans for their Sept. 27 game vs. the Packers.
The city of New Orleans will remain in Phase 2 of its COVID-19 pandemic recovery plan, prohibiting fans in stadiums.
It leaves the Saints with just one game before their bye week to host fans: Oct. 12 vs. the Chargers on Monday Night Football.
This is hardly the farewell tour for Drew Brees that had been envisioned, if this is his last year in the NFL
