Saints' Michael Thomas, Marshon Lattimore Have 'Fairly Significant' Injuries, per HC

Both wide receiver Michael Thomas and cornerback Marshon Lattimore are dealing with "fairly significant injuries" following the New Orleans Saints' loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, according to coach Dennis Allen.

Luckily the two stars will have time to recover as the Saints enter the bye and both players are expected to rehab throughout the week ahead of the team's Nov. 26 matchup with the Atlanta Falcons, per Allen.

Thomas went down with a knee injury in the first quarter at U.S. Bank Stadium while Lattimore was carted off in the fourth quarter with an ankle issue.

It was a day full of injuries for New Orleans as it also loss quarterback Derek Carr, who was carted away in the third quarter with what appeared to be a right shoulder injury. Allen confirmed that the starting signal caller is also in concussion protocol.

Cornerback Alontae Taylor, defensive lineman Malcolm Roach and wide receiver Rashid Shaheed all dealt with the injuries as well for the Saints.

While Lattimore has had a relatively healthy career throughout his seven years in the league, the four-time Pro Bowler is coming off a 2022 campaign in which he played just seven games due to a lacerated kidney.

As for Thomas, the sight of him missing time will be concerning to everyone in the Saints locker room as the star wideout—who is a two-time All-Pro—has played in just 10 regular-season games from 2020 to 2022 due to injuries.
