The hits just keep coming for the New Orleans Saints. NewOrleans.Football’s Nick Underhill reported Tuesday that veteran cornerback Ken Crawley was injured in the team’s preseason game with the Jacksonville Jaguars and is “going to be out a couple of weeks.”
It’s a crushing blow. Crawley played some of his best football this summer against the Jaguars and was projected to start across from Marshon Lattimore in their Sept. 12 home opener against the Green Bay Packers. He had a very strong training camp and looked to have rebounded from his time away from New Orleans, which he spent on other teams’ practice squads and even out of football for a time until this opportunity came up again.
