New Orleans Saints awaiting game status for Marshon Lattimore, COVID-positive assistants

FORT WORTH, Texas -- Cornerback Marshon Lattimore and half of the New Orleans Saints' coaching staff remain maybes for Sunday's game at Carolina as of Friday morning.

Coach Sean Payton said Friday morning that Lattimore will probably be a "game-time decision." A source confirmed to ESPN that Lattimore underwent thumb surgery earlier this week.

As for the six offensive assistant coaches who tested positive for COVID-19 earlier this week, Payton said they will have to go "2-for-2" with negative tests on Friday and Saturday to be cleared to make the flight to Carolina on Saturday.
