The New Orleans Saints were dealt a bad blow ahead of their Week 1 matchup against the Green Bay Packers when it was announced that Ken Crawley and Tre’Quan Smith would be placed on injured reserve.
This is horrible news for NOLA, as they’re incredibly thin at both of these positions already. The Saints traded for Bradley Roby earlier this week to help shore up the cornerback position, but he’s suspended for Week 1.
With Crawley out, it’ll be up to rookie Paulson Adebo to come in and pack a punch in the secondary.
