Updated Saints starting lineup projection after disastrous injury report

The New Orleans Saints dropped a bombshell on Friday’s injury report ahead of their Week 4 game with the Detroit Lions, ruling out half a dozen starters and pushing numerous backups (and a few rookies) into the starting lineup.

It’s a lot to manage. So we’ve run through each position group and projected a starting lineup for both sides of the ball. Here’s who could take the field after kickoff at Ford Field on Sunday:

  • Quarterback: Drew Brees
  • Running back: Alvin Kamara
  • Fullback: Michael Burton

No injuries here, thank goodness.
